Dont get me wrong Platoon was great and all but HH deserves to be up there way more so. If you're gonna have Saving Private Ryan up there for a WWII movie, this should be the one for Vietnam
God help you Cloris Leachman juggle the beanbags!
My favorite War movies are as follows
1. Apocalypse Now
2. Full Metal Jacket
3. Hamburger Hill
4. Platoon
5. Saving Private Ryan
Hamburger hill is defiantly VERY VERY underrated on this site, its a great movie.
Nice list but apocalypse now is not a war film. It takes place during a war. But really has nothing to do with the war. Also i think that we were soilders was better than now in all regards now is very over rated. But the rest of the list is pretty good thogh i think spr should be # 1. Take Care
EVERY MAN DIES NOT EVERY MAN REALLY LIVES
I HAVE TO RETURN SOME VIDEOTAPES
This movie wasn't good enough to be in the top 250. That's why.
shareThis movie kicks Saving Private Ryan's stupid ass. Its way gorier, and way more worthy of a top 250 spot than that overrated peice of *beep* horse *beep*
That Thing That Happened In Waco Where The Church Exploded Was Pretty Freakin Sweet!

I think Platoon was overated. And most people here are more interested in the 'Dark Knight' than in anything truly historic.
shareWith a 6.7 rating, the most succinct way to put it is that most people thought it was a decent but not great movie. I saw the film once about 12 or 13 years ago and can hardly remember much about it beyond a few especially gory moments. Contrast that with Platoon, Apocalypse Now, and Full Metal Jacket, movies which I haven't seen in nearly as long, but which have images, sounds, performances, and scenes that are seared into my brain (and I'm of the mindset that Apocalypse Now is slightly overrated due to its disastrous final half-hour and Full Metal Jacket is fairly overrated).
Whatever flaws those films had, they were full of indelible moments that left a lasting imprint. Each of those films also featured memorable, larger-than-life performances that I won't ever forget (Willem Dafoe in Platoon, Robert Duvall in Apocalypse Now, and R. Lee Ermey in Full Metal Jacket). Hamburger Hill just lacks those qualities that make it linger in the public movie-going consciousness the way those films have.
