Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, A Few Good Men earns its spot. A Few Good Men trusts its audience to sit with discomfort instead of resolving it too quickly. When cocky military lawyer Lt. Daniel Kaffee and his co-counsel, Lt. Cmdr. Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson lead a cast that treats the material with real seriousness. It hit screens in 1992.
