Stripes - 5

An early (1981) Bill Murray film about two guys who join the army to have meaningful work and pick up chics. The film has its funny moments but is mostly implausible that they are in any army I've ever heard of. Murray's character John takes the lead for the platoon who accidentally graduate from basic training and get assigned to Italy to take care of a pimped out Winnebago, rocket-launchers and all. They save the day and score the chics. Besides some quotable lines and a pretty good performance by Murray, the story is rather mediocre.
