This my Rifle This is My gun

This movie is one of the best look into Marine training at Paris Island. The movie is a nice look into the Vietnam war showcasing a great actor in Modine. His character is seen two ways (a killer and protector) and depending on your point of view you get to decide which one he is. The movie is suspenseful and filled with some good history. It also is a little depressing but, what war movie isn't. The best part in my opinion is that R. Lee Ermey was really a Master Sgt in the Marines so he didn't really need training to act the way he did. He frightened Modine as he said in several interviews

Better than Peter Jackson's version

Well this definitely wasn't worse than Peter Jackson's snorefest of a Kong movie, and I'd say it's probably on par with Gareth Edward's Godzilla film.

It's a much better story and plot than Peter Jackson's but it really suffers from a patchy script and very poor character development. The CG Kong is impressive, but the slow motion effects are really overused. There are some cheesy shots - Tom Hiddleston has obviously been told to stand around "looking macho" - and the music just doesn't work. There isn't a requirement to use all of the same classic songs just because a film is set around the time of the Vietnam war!

Hallucinations and Flashbacks

Jacob's Ladder- is a really great psychological supernatural horror thriller. Tim Robbins is excellent in this film.

The Plot: After returning home from the Vietnam War, veteran Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins) struggles to maintain his sanity. Plagued by hallucinations and flashbacks, Singer rapidly falls apart as the world and people around him morph and twist into disturbing images. His girlfriend, Jezzie (Elizabeth Peña), and ex-wife, Sarah (Patricia Kalember), try to help, but to little avail. Even Singer's chiropractor friend, Louis (Danny Aiello), fails to reach him as he descends into madness.

Its also super underrated, not alot of people talk about this film or know about this film. Its a must watch psychological twisted supernatural horror film.
