Full Metal Jacket
|
IMDB rating: 8.20 Plot: Full Metal Jacket begins by following the trials and tribulations of a platoon of fresh Marine Corps recruits focusing on the relationship between Gunnery Sergeant Hartman and Privates Pyle and Joker. We see Pyle grow into an instrument of death as Hartman has forseen of all of his recruits. Through Pyle’s torment and Joker’s unwillingness to stand up against it the climax of part one is achieved with all three main characters deciding their fates by their action or inaction. The second chapter of Full Metal Jacket delves into Joker’s psyche and the repeated referal to the fact that he joined the Corps to become a killer. When his mostly behind the scenes job as a combat correspondant is interfered with by the Tet offensive he is thrust into real combat and ultimately must choose if he really is a killer. |

What are some good war movies?
I want some movies like "Saving Private Ryan" and "Platoon". By the way, I already have the "Rambo" trilogy and "Full Metal Jacket". Ten points guaranteed to the best answer. Thanks
Brave Heart is a good war movie.

Well this wouldn’t be techincally a "movie" but it is a seven part mini series that I just watched. It’s called "Generation Kill" and it’s based off a book. It is absolutely amazing! It’s hilarious and serious at the same time. I love it!
Also I recommend The Hurt Locker.

I guess I am confuse. Platoon is my favorite movie, so if you are just wanting our opinions I would go with that one. If you are going by one that you haven’t seen and wanted to try out I would go with "We were soldiors" great movie starring Mel Gibson.

Forest Gump (Sorry that’s the only one I can think of)

The Patriot, Enemy at the Gates, Last of the Mohicans, Apocalypse Now, Bridge on the River Kwai, Schindler’s List, Jarhead, the Great Escape, Dirty Dozen, and Letters from Iwo Jima are all pretty good war movies.
There’s also tons of good documentaries from the history channel and military channel. If you’re looking for more of a macro view of the battle check out the show Commanders At War on youtube. Pretty good stuff.
