Full Metal Jacket
The numbers for Full Metal Jacket aren't pretty at 39%, but the fans who vote for it vote with conviction. What the win rate hides, the decision time reveals. R. Lee Ermey's drill instructor is so indelible that the boot-camp first half overshadows everything that follows, giving voters one of cinema's most quotable performances and a tonal split that makes the film impossible to categorize neatly. Fans decide quickly — 1.9s avg vs 3.5s platform average.
Synopsis
A pragmatic U.S. Marine observes the dehumanizing effects the U.S.-Vietnam War has on his fellow recruits from their brutal boot camp training to the bloody street fighting in Hue.
On the other end of the spectrum: Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb at 75% is a comfortable win, while The Shining at 0% is the matchup Full Metal Jacket can't crack.
