Full Metal Jacket

When I was younger I asked my dad -- a Marine infantry officer who served two tours in Vietnam -- which Vietnam movie he thought was the most realistic. His answer: Full Metal Jacket.
 
"She say, no boom-boom with soul brother. Soul brothers too beaucoup. Too beaucoup."

This movie is so quotable, get ready for a long thread.

I have a relative who is a Vietnam Vet who told me that "Hamburger Hill" was the most realistic Vietman War film in his opinion. It probably all depends on one's experience.
 
I wanted to see exotic Vietnam... the crown jewel of Southeast Asia. I wanted to meet interesting and stimulating people of an ancient culture... and kill them. I wanted to be the first kid on my block to get a confirmed kill!
 
Looks like the best part of you ran down the crack of your momma's *** and ended up a brown stain on the mattress.
 
You're so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece!!

The deadliest weapon in the world is a marine and his rifle. It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool. It is a hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and strong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill. You will become dead marines and then you will be in a world of **** because marines are not allowed to die without permission. Do you maggots understand?
 
A Gulf War vet friend said the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan was the most realistic depiction of war that he has seen on film and it still bothers him to watch it.
 
The opening of SPR still bother's me to watch it and I have never been to war.

Still not as disturbing as the scene from the same where the guy is fighting the German hand to hand in the building and the latter overpowers him and stabs him in the chest. That may be the most disturbing scene I have ever watched.
 
Mine would be in "The Pacific" where the solider from New Orleans was dropping pebbles into the skull of a Japanese solider whose top of his skull had been sheared off...........I still can't get that picture outta my mine!

Bob Mould of Husker Du.. i would guess 1982ish.

Playing a Ibanez Flying V, a knock off of the more expensive Gibson... Didn't see too many Flying Vs in punk bands.
 
Are you quitting on me? Well, are you? Then quit, you slimy ******* walrus-looking piece of ****! Get the **** off of my obstacle! Get the **** down off of my obstacle! NOW! MOVE IT! Or I'm going to rip your balls off, so you cannot contaminate the rest of the world! I will motivate you, Private Pyle, IF IT SHORT-DICKS EVERY CANNIBAL ON THE CONGO!

The dead know only one thing: it is better to be alive.

What is this Mickey Mouse ****? What in the name of Jesus H. Christ are you animals doing in my head? Why is Private Pyle out of his bunk after lights-out? Why is Private Pyle holding that weapon? Why aren't you stomping Private Pyle's guts out?

For those who don't know R. Lee Ermey and Kubrick would sit up at night and write the script from Ermey's experiences from when he was on the drill field.
