Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket, with Matthew Modine, Vincent D’Onofrio, Adam Baldwin, and an unforgettable performance by drill sergeant R. Lee Ermey, opened to middling reviews in 1987 but has since become a cultural icon to war critics and soldiers alike.
Today’s panel of young film lovers includes both a Marine and Navy veteran. Their perspective, alongside the civilians on the panel, makes for an absorbing discussion of what has now become a touchstone war film.
