Many prominent directors have made Vietnam War films But with Full Metal Jacket, Stanley Kubrick brought his unique visual style, meticulous attention to detail, and uncompromising approach to filmmaking to create a harsh, yet spellbinding, cinematic vision of war

The film can be neatly divided into two segments The first is in which Private Joker (Matthew Modine) attempts to lead a struggling recruit, Pyle (Vincent D'Onofrio), through a grueling basic training exercise, under the watchful eye of a strict sergeant (Lee Ermey) The story then takes a turn when the Joker and his comrades are sent to the front lines and must deal with the harsh realities of combat and the brutality of the 1968 Tet Offensive

"Across the Universe" is one of the trippiest films to come out of the movie/musical boom of the 1980s and early 2010s It is certainly a bold vision, combining cutting-edge visual technology (at least for the time), psychedelic sets, and a collection of Beatles songs And while the film is packed with so many musical numbers, it is also packed with a full-length plot

The Beatles' hit songs and the Vietnam War serve as the backdrop for the cross-eyed romance between Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), an upper-class American woman, and Jude (Jim Sturgess), a young English laborer who goes to America to find his father After a tepid reunion, Jude befriends a couple of rambunctious college students who show him around New York City, but their relationship is threatened by the social upheavals associated with the Vietnam War

Although critically panned upon its initial release, "Jennifer's Body" has since developed a cult following--especially after its streaming debut introduced this feminist horror comedy to a new generation

I'm old school, but when it comes to famous chocolatiers, I'll take Gene Wilder over Johnny Depp or Timothée Chalamet Like "Coraline," the original "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" walks the line between whimsy and horror

Like Roald Dahl's classic children's novel of the same name, the story follows young Charlie Bucket (Peter Ostrum) who, along with four other children, finds a golden ticket hidden in a Wonka bar and a tour of Willy Wonka's mysterious chocolate factory The idea is to win a tour of Willy Wonka's mysterious chocolate factory Led by the enigmatic Wonka himself (Wilder), the group embarks on a surreal journey through his factory But as the tour progresses, the children's reactions to Wonka's fantastic inventions are tested, and one by one they face the consequences of their choices
