"The Choirboys": One of the first of the "Take a Decent Book Then Hack And Slash It Into Irrlevance" Movies.
Joe Wambaugh was absolutely right to have his name removed from this poorly written, acted and directed piece of cinematic dreck that even James Woods, Don Stroud and Louis Gossett Jr. couldn't pull up from the sewer!
Special Category: "Full Metal Jacket": Kubrick should have stayed stuck to Gus Hasford's "The Short Timers" as he had for 3/4 of the novel (Which is superb!) as it was written!
Having Joker, Cowboy and the Lust Hog Squad sent to Khe Sahn. Where the squad falls victim to another ambush where Doc is shot. Cowboy goes after him and is shot. Joker takes charge, decides not to risk any more men and shoots Cowboy dead!
"Hedwig and The Angry Inch": A very popular IFC film. Though, I just can't get the hang of a rock band with John Cameron Mitchell in drag leading it. Far too pretentious for its own good.
Jack.
Fantastic movie, the first 30 minutes alone are sufficient to place it in the top 10 best war movies of all time.
Grab any Marine on the street and he can probably quote half the dialogue.
