OP here, and I actually think this is the only movie that can reach FMJ level

>>727007256
other than the two scenes with vietnamese prostitutes, the second half of the movie is pretty shitty

great film, but honestly not as good as FMJ imo.. Too abstracted. I did love Heart of Darkness, which it's based on though.

Full metal was Kubrick's only good film. Rest are overrated trash.

>>727007596
yeah it was almost B-movie quality...

>>727006598
Apocalypse now

>>727006598
Saving Pvt Ryan.
FMJ is excellent though.

French movie Indigènes. A jewel, must watch absolutely.

>>727006598
Apocalypse Now

Jarhead did a damn good job of describing what every Marine goes through.

you tricky dick.

Best war movies by Kubrick:

1. Paths of Glory
2. Doctor Strangelove
3. Full Mental Straightjacket

Terrible samefagging. FMJ was only good for the first 40 minutes. After that it was shit. And Kubric is overrated.

>>727006598
Kubrick is my favorite director by far! 2001 is probably my favorite film of all time but all of his stuff is good.

Kubrick is only overrated if you have no concept of what films looked like at the time of any of his projects. ...and you've never had to frame a fucking shot. Or direct anything.

>>727009148
Its pretty good. Not really a war movie but the characters are in the military. Kinda an amoral character like trainspotting or filth.

>>727009485
I read a book on the making of 2001 and i never put this together myself, but it marks the exact point where spaceships in movies stopped being sheet metal rockets and started looking like modern space vehicles. How, you ask? Cause Kubrick hired a couple old nasa heads to design a real fucking ship

Stalingrad

Yeah, I have to go with the consensus that the second half is boring as fuck. First half is dank af though. Black Hawk Down is pretty fucking good.

Enemy at the Gates with Jude Law was actually really good imo

The lengths he went to, not just hiring a couple guys, but spending day and night over at the space agency working on how everything would not only look but how controls would be designed and ergonomics and how things would move in zero gravity and how light would move from a single point source and how shadows would diffuse in reflected moonlight and all the rest of it.

There are films and books about how much he figured out for all of the film industry, in the making of that film.

ehhhhhhhhhhhhh there's some arguments to be made there. realism and rawness don't necessarily imply "greatness". there's a lot of things that make a movie great, though i'm sure we disagree on this point, so we'll move onto....
>name a better dictor
Now there you are correct

hail Lord Stanley

god damn, being inside that guy's brain must have been the ultimate trip. Stanley was more stoned every day as soon as he got out of bed, completely sober, than any of us can ever hope to be on drugs

every single one of his films are God Tier, including FMJ, though i would personally say it's near the bottom of his catalog

it's also a "true story" (a massive embellishment of a couple of actual events which have changed drastically due to the sands of time) and i always like those

Extremely true. I served in Iraq and I can't even think about the end of the movie with out tearing up.

What about Patton?

Is OP retarded? FMJ has a great FIRST act, the second is only decent. Stanley Kubrick may be the greatest director of all time though.

These are all better than FMJ, but i have to go with The Thin Red Line since you also asked to pick a director, even tought i don't think Malick is on the same level as Kubrick, he is still one of my favs and a better director than the others in my list.

Platoon would be equal to this, in my opinion. Though I agree Kubrick is the superior director.

Patton was a cunt.
Churchill was too. Both idiots that needlessly got countless hundreds of thousands killed for their own personal glory.

Goes for the petulant manchild Teddy Roosevelt too.

Yeah but you'll never see that perspective shown on film.

Nor will you see any of the reasons why the Nazi's did what they did shown. It'll all just be a biiig fuckin mystery.

Not sure if it counts as a movie, but Band of Brothers...
