Best Viet-Nam War Movie

[Kingfisher]

I really liked "We were Soldiers". But it's not on the list, so I'll go with Platoon, then FMJ.

Full Metal Jacket was my fav , but Apocalypse Now and the Deer Hunter are classics as well , I dont really watch or like a lot of movies but these 3 would be in my top 10

I went for A N just because F M J isnt one of your choices

The first casualty of war is. . .the movie videogame version!

 

[hyke]

Full Metal Jacket!

 

[knowone]

Should have put M*A*S*H on the list. Although it's set in the Korean War, both the movie and TV series were REALLY about Vietnam.

Hhat about Full Metal Jacket?

Yeah, what about Full metal Jacket and Casualties Of War?

Full Metal Jacket. It's one of the best war movies ever made and it helped solidify my decision to join the Corps.

From that list, Platoon gets my vote. In my opinion, the two sargeants, Burns and Elias, represent the division in this country regarding that war. Burns, win it at all cost. Elias, we're going to get our ass kicked.

But of course I liked "We Were Soldiers" better as I thought it was more of a "if you're going to fight a war, you better win it" kind of movie.

How can you leave out Full Metal Jacket?!?!?!? Me so horny, me love you long time.........

Re-do

 

[SRF]

"We Were Soldiers" is definitely the best Vietnam War movie.

 

[maildude]

I voted Apocalypse Now. You left out Full Metal Jacket and We Were Soldiers.

 

[Wizard Sleeves]

Deer Hunter baby, Christopher Walken and Robert DeNiro in the same movie, you can't do any better than that.

Yeah, what about Full metal Jacket and Casualties Of War?

Yeah, Casualties of War was hard, hardcore. FMJ was great too, as were several of the others that have been mentioned. But I have to say, Casualties of War kind of got to me when I watched it.

Let's add Dead Presidents into the mix - great film.

(Again, not strictly set in Vietnam, but kind of *about* Vietnam...)

Great movie. :thumbsup:

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

The Siege of Firebase Gloria, The Boys in Company C, Birdy, The Green Berets ad nauseum.

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

Bat 21, Flight of the Intruder, Uncommon Valor, etc. etc.

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

Gardens of Stone, Hamburger Hill. Man, you really needed to expand the choices.

 

[Dan-O]

Great movie. :thumbsup:

You have taste, sir. :hatsoff:

I'll also pop Gordon's War in there - a 70s pseudo-blaxploitation version of the above, but coming from a different angle. Awesome flick. :thumbsup:
