My Choice: A Few Good Men
Pros: Fantastically well-written dialogue (obviously an Aaron Sorkin piece)
One of the greatest courtroom scenes of all-time
Jack Nicholson, Kiefer Sutherland, Demi Moore, and Kevin Bacon!
The Markinson character
Cons: Tom Cruise has a tendency to overact this part
Ending is melodramatic. Fantastic interplay between Nicholson and Cruise turns into Nicholson becoming a raving lunatic seemingly out of nowhere, then the whole thing with the Marine saluting...blech.
Characters have a tendency to say "Here's what we're going to do," then they end up doing exactly that, which hurts suspense levels in some parts.
