This probably makes me derpy, but I finally got around to sitting down and watching 'Full Metal Jacket' over the weekend (Apocalypse Now is still in the pile).
9/10. While it's no Private Ryan, the opening act of the movie was fantastic. R. Lee Ermey carried that movie, and after he left, I felt it sort of puttered. I cared less about Joker and his pseudo-friends while they were in 'Nam. I also felt like they tried too hard to pull off a moral in the last 20 minutes of the film (although the scene with 'the Stare' was rather poignant).

Oh my god. It's Android 17, complete with the eye avatar and errthing. MIND=BLOWN!
Edit: Full Metal Jacket was a GREAT movie. Stanley Kubrick's best for sure. The boot camp scenes were pretty entertaining because of the Drill Sargent, but I honestly felt that the war scenes and shit at the end was actually really well done as well.

No denying that it was great. I guess I just had grittier anticipations/expectations (a la Platoon).
My problem with most Kubrick films is that I feel like sometimes they just putter on. Like, I hate 2001, I thought the scene with all the lights and whatnot was pandering to stoned hippies rather than anything mind-blowing or otherwise enlightening.
The Shining, however, I found splendid. I think it's because the pace worked so well with the whole 'guy going f**king cabin fever crazeeee."
Once I finish my work load for this week, I'mma watch me some Apocalypse Now and Deer Hunter. Maybe Platoon because Jarka hasn't seen that either.
