While this one never quite made it as a great war movie, it's still well worth having just to watch the antics of R. Lee Ermey (the drill sergeant). Kubrick rarely trusted actors to improvise their own dialog (Peter Sellers is the other big exception to that rule), but it paid off big in this case.
