When Full Metal Jacket first came out on VHS, my mom rented it. I must have been about 7 or 8 years old at the time, and my brother is two years younger. We weren't watching the movie with her, but she called us inside to see the suicide scene. She kept rewinding and playing the part where he stuck the gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger several times. We had just gotten a new VCR that was fairly high tech at the time, so we could even watch it in slow motion. "Look," she said, "you can even see the top of his skull pop up!" Then she said we couldn't watch the rest of the movie because it was too violent.

I didn't watch the movie in its entirety until I was 26 years old.

Anything with lots of cool guns:biggrin:

I love all the "war" movies. I love to see the US forces kick but. I even watch all the cheesy delta force movies BlackHawk down is awesome... Anyone seen that one with Bruce Willis about being in Africa? That was good too...

Smokin Aces I & II, Crank(s), but my favorite is Shooter:biggrin:
