    I just have to post this: How good of a film is Platoon?

    Oh my, just watched it, and I think it comes close to being number one, perhaps number 1.
    So fucking amazing, the story line, the actors, the emotions, the soundtrack.

    I just love it

    Charlie Sheen
    Willem Dafoe
    Forest Whitaker
    Johnny Depp
    Kevin Dillon
    John C. McGinley
    Tom Berenger


    you wouldnt be far wrong in saying who hasnt it got in whos a good actor.

    Seriously if you have not watched I think your insane.

                  It's definitely one of my favourite war movies along with Apocalypse Now. It's pretty close to flawless.

                                              You bought Platoon when you were 9 years old? You sure it wasn't Platoon the video game for nintendo?

                                                  The only thing I would change is the scene where "willem defoe" is gunned down by the Vietnamese AFTER "Barnes" said that he was already dead.

                                                  You posted the pic that bothers me.

                                                  It was just so hokey the way he kept popping his body as if it was being struck by bullets. Then, the shot where he raises his hands over his head, gets popped again and drops makes me think, WHY????

                                                  It just didn't need to be so hokey. It could have been more effective if they didn't push it to the limit.


                                                  I love that movie!!!!!!

                                                      The first "half" of full metal jacket is superb. The second half is just "good".

                                                      Although it loses impact the more you watch it.

                                                      I do love "Full Metal Jacket"!!!!

                                                              powerful movie - i was about the same age as the guys in the movie when it came out and i just kept thinking how surreal it would be to one day be in the US and the next day dropped into a jungle horror show. scared me shitless and not long after I went to the Vietnam Memorial and saw all these middle aged vets, some in wheel chairs and it was chilling.

                                                              terrible war that should never have been fought - politics at its worst.

                                                              As a movie and story I like Deer Hunter better.

One horrible war movie that comes to mind is Blackhawk Down.

One horrible war movie that comes to mind is Blackhawk Down.

The damn screen was so bright with all the desert scenes that I had to wear sunglasses to watch it!

                                                                                                                                                                                                      It wasn't just a war film, it was so much more. And the message / conflicts presented in that movie were critical to war / social commentary back then, as well as today in concern with Iraq.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      It also broke down the lines of sanity. I can't think of one movie that has even come close to it, aside from even war films.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      To be honest, I don't think any movie challenges it, including Godfather.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      i dont know, maybe im too young to understand AN. properly, In a way I thought it was quite strange (surfing during battle etc).
