Ahhh, what a great movie! You didn't by any chance get the inspiration to watch the movie from the LTA movie club? :P
Anyways, if you want to watch more epic movies from the Vietnam war, I
strongly suggest:
Platoon (especially this one)
Apocalypse NowI must admit, I was very bored with Full Metal Jacket after the Boot Camp scenes.
Full Metal Jacket is kinda like two movies in one. The first half is about the bootcamp, which is kinda funny. The second half is about the war itself, which is much more serious and sad. I like both parts.
pulp fiction
Haven't watched it. Should I? What is it about and is it any good?
