One of Kubrick’s best, an instant classic, thanks to Lee Ermey, who really set the tone for this film by improvising most of his funny dialogue. Besides, you can’t go wrong with the movie that inspired the song, “Me So Horny.” Good stuff, thanks for posting this, Scott.

ProseSword, concur. Interesting structure, basically two parts, yet Kubrick manages to pull it off. The transition from training to combat is one of the best of all Vietnam films. Kubrick is genius! And Ermey is as well. He was injured during much of filming, too. Gutted through it.
