Dun really like war movies because they let your seeds of hatred grow inside of you. Especially when you see someone being abused or rape and you want justice.

Personal favs are A Bridge Too Far, Empire of the Sun and Cross of Iron. There are others that are good but these three come to mind now.

So far they have not produced a realistic movie of the Vietnam war. Only got crap like platoon and We were Patriots.... Green Berets was worse than crap.... Apocalypse Now was too surreal...
Needs a British director to come out with something better.
The killing fields was good - but it was based on Cambodia and not Vietnam :(

The is one of the better Vietnam war movies,,some might like the 'darker' type like Platoon,,but to each his own,,and the one thing good is a Senior NCO does a better job than a full fledge Officer,,
