My favorite line in the whole movie is when Hartmann tells Lawrence/Pyle that he's so ugly, he could be a modern-art masterpiece.

Lou Gossett's opening scene in "An Officer and a Gentleman" was similarly memorable. It starts at 1:12.

You can read The Short Timers online. There are a few notable differences from the movie. LINK

What is this Full Metal Jacket movie you speak of?

Is it new? I am going to Movie Gallery to rent Platoon on VHS? Has anyone heard anything about it?

Seriously, I love Full Metal Jacket. Some say it is overrated but I disagree. R. Lee Ermey is awesome. Fire Base Gloria is one of my favorite R. Lee Ermey performances.

For those who have not seen this film it is very good and also quite funny. Skip to 1:39 for the fun.

Opening

Awesome.

You'll fit in nicely around here now that Dan is gone.

Agreed, and I also disagree with the "First half is awesome, second half sucks" assessment, and think most would agree.

The Vietnam half of the movie is great, but the first basic training half is just SO fricking good that any second half would've paled in comparison. Just because basic training was so awesome doesn't mean the Vietnam half sucked.

one of my all time favorite movies

ETA: First half of the movie would never have been so good without R Lee Ermey

I love the movie. The only problem is that I share the name of one of the ridiculed soldiers, and my friends are sure to quote it just to bring me down a peg.

People don't like the Vietnam scenes? That where one of the best lines in the movie is.

"How can you kill innocent women and children?"
"Easy, you don't lead them as much!"

And I thought the sniper scene was money.

You probably should have put quotations on that. Otherwise, people will think you really meant it.

ETA: And it's "... must fricking hang."

I did really mean it - but I'm the guy who said "hey it was my turn". I can't believe he responded to me like that.

The common opinion of this movie is that it is awesome in Basic Training, and sucks in Viet Nam. I love all of it.

Don't forget that the Vietnam half of the movie gave us the lyrics to one of the great rap songs of all time.
