This thread is getting good. There are a few movies here that I have never seen that I am now really interested in seeing. Thanks everyone and keep it going.
Someone earlier posted the Mickey Mouse clip from Full Metal Jacket. For those that have not seen FMJ, it gave us the infamous "Me So Horny" soundbite from the 2 Live Crew song. It also gave us what I think is one of the most odious portrayals of a drill seargent that I have seen. This clip is the first ten minutes of the boot camp portion of FMJ.....lots of language, so beware.
For anyone who has served and has been to boot camp, how realistic is this?
Interesting but true story about the guy playing the drill sergeant....he actually was one in real life. at first, kubrick didnt want him, but when he auditioned, he was so adept at riffing off insult after insult that Kubrick went with him. Much of this clip is all improv on the spot. Amazing.
