I had a VHS tape of that, and it was so wore out at that exact spot that it wouldn't play past it. I think it's where people just stopped it and rewound the movie at that point.

I liked that movie but I think it could have ended at Pyle going postal. The second half of the movie I didn't care for. Seemed like a boring tack-on.

Probably one of the better (IMHO) of the Vietnam era movies. It explained the fears and frustrations that young men were going through during that confusing war. Vietnam was certainly not America's proudest moment. Not only did we not adequately support our troops when they came home but our government did not adequately support them during the conflict; not with proper equipment or with good decision-making and leadership. IHMO

Joker is Matthew Modine, and Gomer Pyle is Vincent D'Onofrio.

"If God wanted you up here he would have miracled you up here wouldnt he pyle"

"Now choke yourself, not with your hand ******** with my hand." "Do not bring my hand to you, bring yourself to my hand"

That is one of my favorite movies ever. We didn't study Vietnam in school (I graduated in '98) and I learned a whole lot more from the movie than I did in school.
