Wow, I Watched This For The First Time The Other Night And It Was Great. Easily My Favorite War Movie, It's Probably Going In My Top 10.

Now we're talking. Although I preferred Apocalypse Now and Saving Private Ryan, I thought the portrayal of the dynamics between the Vietnamese people and the soldiers was extremely potent and daring filmmaking. Full Metal Jacket also went in that same direction one year later in 1987, but didn't have the same punch as Platoon, I felt.

One of my favorite war movies as well. I prefer it over Saving Private Ryan.
