Stanley Kubrick double feature special!
Paths of Glory: One of the most biting, potent and eloquent anti-war films ever made. During WWI, French officer Kirk Douglas finds himself in a maze of Catch-22 contradictions when he decides to defend three of his men against charges of cowardice from insane general George Macready. Masterfully shot in black-and-white and featuring stellar performances by Adolphe Menjou, Ralph Meeker and Joe Turkel. Timothy Carey’s dark and sympathetic portrayal of Private Maurice Ferol steals the show.
Full Metal Jacket: Kubrick’s harrowing and hilarious war film follows green Marine recruits Matthew Modine and Arliss Howard from basic training to Vietnam inferno. Includes some of the most jaw-dropping portrayals of military madness ever to grace the screen, courtesy of raw recruit Vincent D’Onofrio and real-life drill sergeant R. Lee Ermey.
