One of the two best Vietnam movies

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2012)

Platoon in my opinion is tied with Apocalypse Now as being the best Vietnam War movie of all time, with Born on the Fourth of July right behind them. And Casualties of War being extraordinarily behind all 3 of those.
This was Oliver Stone in the prime of his career when he was cranking out this movie, Born on the Fourth of July, Wall Street, The Doors and JFK. Actually Stone makes a very good choice in using The Doors as the music for the movie.
The movie has a fantastic cast with Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger, Willem Dafoe, Forest Whitaker, John C. McGinley, Kevin Dillon and Keith David.
