Would be interesting to see what movies make your list. Maybe there are a few good ones you will list that I haven't seen. Mine are:
1. Platoon
2. Full Metal Jacket
Yesterday, Today was Tomorrow
I think most folks would name the two you mentioned, and add "Apocolypse Now" but I would recommend the obscure "Siege of Firebase Gloria" (Even though I rate it below the three I mentioned)
You Can't Fool Me...I'm a Moron!
Siege of Firebase Gloria would be my #3.
#1, Platoon
#2, Good Morning Vietnam
Platoon
and
How Sleep the Brave
To be honest, i like to watch modern war movies more than all of the classics (I suck, don't i?)But i liked We Were Soldiers and Rescue Dawn.
shareBoth very good.... although they do lack the emotional power, grit and brutality of the earlier made ones.
Also, The Boys in Company C (1978)
Hamburger Hill
Platoon
Covey Leader calling Raven.
Come on, Raven.
Apocalypse Now is my favorite, by far.
A photo finish between Full Metal Jacket and The Deer Hunter.
Of those not mentioned, I would recommend The Killing Fields.
We Were Soldiers is a WWII movie, isn't it?
shareSorry, confusing We Were Soldiers with Windtalkers.
