#25 Full Metal Jacket (1987)

Directed by: Stanley Kubrick
Starring: Matthew Modine, Adam Baldwin

For me, Kubrick is very hit and miss. While I love some of his work, there are times where his films leave me unsatisfied. Full Metal Jacket is definitely a Kubrick film I have respect for. It's an almost anti-war film set amongst characters which leave nothing to the imagination. Every part of this film is played out exactly how Kubrick intended and for that, I credit the superb script and camerawork, which is excellent throughout. It's not always easy viewing but it's certainly a powerful ride.
