Full Metal Jacket'

Oh yes. The romance, the pathos. I especially liked the love scene between Sgt. Hartman and Pvt Pyle:

Hartman: Now you listen to me, Private Pyle, and, yor listen good. I want that weapon, and I want it now!
You will place that rifle on the deck at your feet and step back away from it.

With a twisted smile on his face Pyle points his rifle at Hartman.

Hartman looks suddenly calm, his eyes, his manner are those of a wanderer who has found his home.

Hartman: What is your major malfunction, numbnuts?!!
Didn't Mommy and Daddy show you enough attention when your were a child?!!!

BANG!!

The round hits Hartman in the chest.

He falls back dead.

Why the love in Sgt. Hartman's eyes as he falls back is just wonderful. Such love! A true romance, right up to the end!
