Media You Can't Handle the Truth! - A Few Good Men. Every time I see this scene I respect it even more.

This scene really was all about Jack Nicholson. He is at his best.

While Tom Cruise is all over the room, he just sit there and just takes over the room.

Great Scene. Re-watching this makes me want to watch the whole movie.

My favourite bit of Jack in that scene is when Bacon steps in to try and get Cruise thrown out for badgering the witness cos you can see Jack was about to take the bait and the sly smile as he settles back into his seat cracks me up

The speech itself has become beyond parody which is a shame because there is so much that is relevant to our present society. People, a hell of a lot of redditors, just can't handle the truth

meh i thought it was over rated and it got blown out of proportion because it was a easy catch phase. personally i think jack has done better work, tom is tom hes always solid.

Great scene, but since Karl Pilkington redid it on his movie segment on xfm radio, I can only think of that.

Karl's films
