Full Metal Jacket

I have a buddy at VMI who recommended it. Apparently it's required viewing over there. Definately worth watching.

Full Metal Jacket

Full Metal Jacket is one of my favorites. It's the first movie I bought when I bought a DVD player a few years back.

Ermey also played a gay guy in Saving Silverman. He was in Switchback, Dead Man Walking, Se7en, Leaving Las Vegas, among others. He was a Staff Sergeant in the Marine Corps. and spent 1.5 tours in Vietnam.

The guy knows his shiznit.

FMJ is classic watch it whenever I get the chance. Saving Silverman is a great one too.

Can someone explain to me why they sing the mickey mouse song at the end of FMJ. I always thought it was just to show how young the guys were but Stanley Kubrick is one wierd guy so I was never sure.
