Attention all posters! I need your help to resolve a disagreement.......

Okay, here it is.

I am of the opinion that this movie is not a Vietnam movie, but my colleague disagrees with me.

His point is that it is a Vietnam movie because A: It has Vietnam in the title and B: it's set in Vietnam.

My point is that it's not a Vietnam Movie because, well, it's just not. It's a Love Story, that is set in vietnam, but is not actually a Vietnam Movie.

If someone says that last night they saw a Vietnam Movie, you wouldn't ask them if they saw this movie, you'd probably ask if they watched 'Platoon' or 'Apocalypse now' or even 'full metal jacket'.

Anyone see what I'm saying here? A Vietnam movie is about a guy or a couple of guys who get thrown into the darkest, deepest, world of hell you could ever imagine. They shoot a couple of people, get into more trouble, smoke some ciggarettes, shoot some more people, wade through water with guns held high, get bitten by a snake, get drunk, get laid, get their legs blown off, shoot some more people and by the end of the movie - they have changed their perspective on life, war and Jimi Hendrix.

THAT'S a vietnam movie.

Not some DJ chasing after a girl, cracking jokes.

Ay, don't get me wrong, Robin Williams is a great actor an' all, but this is no Vietnam Movie!

Okay, all I need is a few good posters, to agree or disagree, be as detailed as you like, but this argument needs resolving FAST.

Thanking you all in advance,
