Out of these four, what would you say? If not, pick another and discuss.

Full Metal Jacket is a bad movie by every definition of the word.

Of those 4 I would pick Platoon but you should have put We Were Soldiers in there too.

Would that be in subject matter or in presentation? In any case, I would say it is not an honorable thing to see what individuals need to become to win dirty wars.

FMJ had nothing to do with Vietnam. Nothing to do with the U.S. Army. Nothing to do with boot camp. It was a completely unrealistic fiction from start to finish, and is by far Kubrick's worst movie. I would rather watch 2001 with the sound turned off in a crowded airplane than have to sit through FMJ again.
