Full Metal Jacket is a great movie. Until they leave bootcamp and go to war and then it sucks. I refer to movies with a great first half and a terrible second half as suffering from "Full Metal Jacket Syndrome" or FMJS for short. I borrow this terminology partially from comedian Patrice O'Neal. Another fine example of a movie suffering from a fatal case of FMJS is Independence Day.

revised top 3 favorite Kubrick movies list:
1. Dr Strangelove
2. Eyes Wide Shut
3. Clockwork Orange

I kind of agree with Oriphiel with regard to 2001. Great concept, and some great scenes/visuals, but kind of boring to watch overall.
