Full Metal Jacket

Best War Movies - Full Metal Jacket Movie Screencaps

This movie may not be as good a movie as those mentioned above but nonetheless, this still gives a shiver down the spine due to its accurate and heartbreaking description of the Vietnam War.

The first half of this movie is set at the Parris Island training facility where the drill instructor employs forceful methods to turn the recruits into combat-ready Marines or simply put as Killing machines.

The less discussed second half shows one of the recruits named โ€œJokerโ€ covering the war as a correspondent focusing on the Tet offensive. This is where we see the end result of turning men into killing machines and itโ€™s like gazing into the abyss.

Starred by Matthew Modine, portraying as a sensible and kind U.S Marine this movie shows the inhuman environment that the marines had to live in during the Vietnam War.

This movie directed by Stanley Kubrick is one of the most unnerving contributions to war movies and even though it may not have won the Academy Awards or the Golden Globe but still it is considered as a must-watch for all those looking for the best war movies.
