The top 10+ Vietnam movies

Full Metal Jacket -
Watched it. Brutal movie about urban fighting and excess of authoritarism in weak minds and the consequences.

Good Morning Vietnam -
Watched it long time ago. The radio man is amazing, of course, because instead of acting comic, he played as good as in the Dead Poets Society.

Platoon -
Watched it and bought the DVD. I remember it was very good.

Hanoi Hilton -
Watched it this weekend. It talks about the POW and their life in urban confinement. I think that, bad as it was, it wasn't as bad as those that were imprisioned in the countryside.


Hamburger Hill -
Watched half of it last month... but doesn't look like I'll finish it. It didn't provide the ambiance

We Were Soldiers

The Deer Hunter

The Fog of War

Path To War

Born on The Fourth of July

Green Berets

Apocalypse Now -
Watched it long long time ago. I remember it was very good.

Casualties of War

The Killing Fields

Forest Gump -
Watched it years ago, and tbh, I didn't like Hanks doing it, but everyone seemed to love the movie, so what the heck... may be I was wrong.

Bright Shining Lie

Tigerland
