The Best War Movie I've Ever Seen

Rating: 10/10 (16 August 1999)

Winner of the 1987 Oscar for best picture and nominated in virtually every category, Platoon is a unique, powerful film.
Charlie Sheen, Willem Dafoe, and Tom Berenger give Oscar-caliber performances unlike any we've seen from them before or since. Berenger is malice personified; Dafoe is Christ-like in his humanity.
This is the best war movie I've seen - richer and perhaps more involving than Saving Private Ryan. If you haven't seen it, rent it now.
