25 best war movies – Full Metal Jacket (1987)

Full Metal Jacket‬ (1987)

Notorious for Gunnery Sergeant Hartman's unrelenting beasting of Private Pyle, Stanley Kubrick's epic follows a bunch of green recruits through training and onto the Vietnam battlefield. The whole thing was shot in England, though you'd never know it.

    Casualties Of War should be in there. The tension is electric and the film is barely watchable in parts. The subject matter, American war crimes, meant it would never get the Hollywood treatment but it made it a better film, Totally absorbing, it'll have you on the edge of your seat throughout.

    For myself, A Bridge Too Far‬ will always be my all time No 1. But Kelly's Hero's is still a entertaining romp.
