If I was going to watch "Full Metal Jacket" and "Platoon" back to back, which one should I start with?

You all got a half hour to decide my movie night. :)

Platoon last

In my experience, the first half of FMJ (boot camp) is awesome. Then they get into combat and things slack off. Since I enjoyed all of Platoon, I'd suggest starting with FMJ unless you expect to nod off half-way through the second movie. In that case, Platoon first, first half of FMJ, and zzzzzzzzzz.

Hahah. For the record, it was FMJ first, I just couldn't wait for R. Lee Ermey. :)

Yes, the second half of FMJ is not nearly as good as the first.
