Alamo Drafthouse is bringing it back on the big screen in August I think.

SHOW ME YOUR WARFACE!

RIP, Gunny.

Not even in the top ten best lines in that movie, let alone all time.

Talked to a Marine recently who made the mistake of watching it (for the first time) after he signed up and before he reported for boot camp.

As compared to what, some Woody Allen shite? Patton is arguably better, as are a number of films, but you gotta give a reference for us to attack you with many drones.

I'm I conflating movies, or was Animal Mother the same guy who played LTC Kilgore's door gunner (Jimmy? Timmy?) in Apocalypse Now?

Kilgore: How are you feeling today?
Jimmy/Timmy: Like a mean mother fricker, sir!

I won’t argue on the quality of those films but I could watch Full Metal Jacket once a year and I don’t think I’ve given either of those movies a second viewing.

I used to agree, but that has changed as I've gotten older. I said this a couple years ago about FMJ:

The second half is criminally underrated, especially since I've become older. When I was younger, I was mainly all about the first half, but man the second half is pretty awesome on its own. It's rugged and real, and tense as frick. It has the greatness that is the sniper scene, and of course, Animal Mother.
