Great classic with a very young Tom Cruise as a trigger-happy military cadet (then only 19 years). Also one of the first films for Sean Penn (then 21) and Timothy Hutton (then 21). 
Really thought-provoking plot: How will a group of young men, heavily armed and trained for battle, react if their own home base comes under attack?

My new ripping procedure now produces decent quality for such a long film compressed into just 700 MiB. I enclose a sample for ye weak in faith. 

Widescreen DVDrip XviD 2-pass 704x368, great stereo sound AC3.
Burn tested, runs well in both my standalone DivX players.
