As a massive Heinlein fan I’ll say Starship Troopers because I think that’s a fascinating discussion about what you owe your country or the price of citizenship. Since Heinlein is my favorite author I’ll pick another one as well.. A Scanner Darkly by Philip K Dick. I know he had drug issues and this book is an interesting look at the cycle of drugs and addiction and the ending was tragic but also very realistic. I like that the movie included his tribute at the end.

My two favorites are Starship Troopers as you said, and Ender's Game. Starship Troopers helped me while I was serving in the Army, and Ender's Game was my introduction to Sci-Fi when I was in grade school.
I was Air Force. I liked the Starship Troopers movie and then I read the book and was surprised they didn’t follow it better. Enders Game was really good. Was the movie any good?
The movie's a surprisingly faithful adaptation. I really loved the book (though the sequels get a bit out of hand) and found the movie thoroughly enjoyable.
