Apocalypse Now ... if you like f***** up Vietnam movies that is.
Enemy at the Gates is ok...
Platoon is pretty good.
Full Metal Jacket is funny.
They all have action scenes... whether they're good or not is your opinion. :p

Ya, also forgot to write enemy at the gates and say no crapass vietnam movies. We were soldiers is great, but I don't know of a single other vietnam movie that's any good. Platoon, Platoon Leader and Full Metal Jacket are crap. =/

ok... if you're going to say that Platoon and Full Metal Jacket are crap I want to know why. Those are two of my all time favourite war movies. FMJ in particular was a very strong movie that really got inside the heads of the soldiers.
I have to admit that I haven't seen Platoon since it was originally in the theatres but I sure remember being moved by it at the time.

I liked those movies until I learned a lot of what they showed the soldiers doing was crap. I don't like movies that misrepresent what actually happens, especially when they make the soldiers look bad. They're decent movies, but not if you take as semi-historical pictures. Iron Triangle is another example of that.
Most of our country has a warped view of what actually happened over in Vietnam because of movies like those.

Yea, I'll agree that some of the stuff in them is crap, but I don't feel like arguing so I'll leave it at that. If you want a good Vietnam movie that isn't crap, try Hamburger Hill.
Tears of the Sun is another good war movie.
Good war movies - Cidien - 04-26-2005
Forgot about both of those. Hamburger Hill is pretty good. The characters go a little too insane.... but still pretty good. Tears of the Sun I remember watching when it came out, but I can't even remember what it's about. Gonna have to pick that one up next I think. Thanks.

i'll trade ya hamburger hill
lol
