Which of these movies about the Vietnam war is the best?


"Platoon" was probably the most realistic, but I personally loved "Apocalypse Now".. I was almost like a horror movie, it definitely got me creeped out by the end..
Thanks for MHO!
The DI Lee ermey was FANTASTIC in that movie!! I will watch his scenes Everytime even though I know every word!!
he came up with all his own dialogue. He was only supposed to be a technical advisor, but earned the role. The actor that played the helicopter gunner was originally slated to play Hartman.
Ermey also said Hartman was not a good seargant because a good seargant would have tried to get Pyle out of the corps.

Platoon was my fave out of the three. This one was the most realistice
I like full metal jacket the first part of it until they went to war and it sucked after that. There was a guy that we know that served in Vietnam two tours he said hamburger hill was the best Vietnam movie more realistic
I found Platoon to have a sort of grisly realism to it more so than most films about Nam.
Apocalypse now was my favorite.
the first half of full metal jacket is amazing but the second half gets weird. And platoon was good but not as interesting as apocalypse now.
Apocalypse Now is considered one of the greatest movies ever made
tough call, but I have to go with Apocalypse Now.
Platoon..
