Full Metal Jacket is the first Kubrick movie I ever saw. Maybe the first war movie I properly watched. That whole section with the Marine training is pretty intense stuff. I rewatched the movie recently and the scene with Private Pyle going mental is still very gripping and chilling; the acting, the colour palette, the music, etc. Great stuff. To end; some of my favourite lines...
"You had best unf*ck yourself or I will unscrew your head and shit down your neck!"
"I don't know but I've been told, Eskimo pussy's mighty cold"
God has a hard-on for Marines because we kill everything we see! He plays His games, we play ours!

This is so great! I really dig the grey wash in the background.
Deadly, captures the mood of Pyles final scene,the silhouette of Gny. Sgt. Hartman is class.
