One of the mose memorable films I have seen

Rating: 9/10 (27 November 1998)

I have watched more than a few movies in my time but this one still stands out as one of the best.
Robin Williams stars in one of his best roles as a Radio DJ amidst the horror of Vietnam. A wise-cracking star of humour and moral to the soldiers of Vietnam while higher officials around him build a dislike toward him through his satirical approach to the politics surrounding the war. Through his sense of loyalty to his work and to the soldiers of Vietnam he bucks authority and tries to make a difference.
As I said, this is one of the most magical and memorable films I have seen. I wouldn't describe this film, however, as a comedy. The film is indeed very funny and I still find it impossible not to laugh through the radio broadcasts. But I also found the tone of the film sets itself apart from the comedy and describes the Vietnam war in a very serious and moving way.
It is very rare that I would rate a film as highly as I do this. Anyone who watches movies should see this - rent it, buy it, borrow it, steal it. This is a piece of art which deserves to be seen.
