This gripping drama, from 1987, is one of many cinematic masterpieces by Stanley Kubrick. It’s actually two movies – one detailing the boot-camp experiences of Marines being trained for duty, and the other dramatizing their experiences in Vietnam. Matthew Modine stars in both, but the scene-stealers in part one are R. Lee Ermey as the tough-as-nails sergeant, and Vincent D’Onofrio (left) as his most malleable and picked-on recruit.
