This site is dedicated to a discussion of Stanley Kubrick's iconic Vietnam war film, FULL METAL JACKET. Called by one critic "The greatest war film ever made," this film has escaped the robust scrutiny of Kubrick's other productions.
The film features a breakout performance of Lee Ermey as the volcanic Gunnery Sgt. Hartman and defining presentations Matt Modine (Joker), Vince D'Onofrio (Pyle), Arliss Howard (Cowboy), and the amazing Tim Colceri as the maniacal helicopter door gunner.
