On June 26, 1987, the critically acclaimed war film “Full Metal Jacket” premiered in theaters. Directed by Stanley Kubrick, the movie stars Matthew Modine and Adam Baldwin. The film provides a gritty, intense look at the experiences of soldiers during the Vietnam War, showcasing Kubrick’s masterful storytelling and direction.

Fun Fact!
The filming of “Full Metal Jacket” took so long that Matthew Modine got married and had a child before the production was completed. This lengthy filming process is a testament to Kubrick’s meticulous approach to filmmaking.
