A true classic.

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2002)

A war movie can't be any more real than Platoon. Everything from the acting, scenery, etc. was realistic. I am disappointed that this movie only averages an 8.0 on imdb.com, you people should be ashamed and know that this is easily the greatest war movie ever made, it deserves a 10 without a doubt. We Were Soldiers is the only other war movie that comes close to how good Platoon was. I am so glad it won Best Picture in 1986, it definitely more than earned it. Tom Berrenger and Willem Defoe and all the rest all made an outstanding performance. Platoon should be recognized as one of the greatest movies, not just war movies, EVER made.
