There. A vote for Apocalypse Now is also a vote for Borat.

FMJ also added in. A dual ticket with Forrest Gump!

Added Platoon.

Seriously discuss the movies, I don't care. I just wanted these poll options. I didn't think going offtopic on EB would be a serious issue.

As for the best? AN>>>>>FMJ anyday.

Platoon is a very disturbing movie. Out of all the Vietnam movies I've seen it seems to show the horrors of that war better than any other. Although the movie definitely has flaws it's classic. Some of the scenes are just amazing.


Also I love the Vietnam scenes in Forrest Gump. It really brought out Gump's character - as well as people's reaction to him - better than most stuff in the movie.

btw what's the name of that movie with Sean Penn and Michael J Fox? I saw some of it on AMC last week and it was very disturbing, almost to an over the top point. Which is ironic considering that war was over the top in every way

I've no problem, it's just that it seems Evilbore is incapable of having mature discussions without going off tangent or ridiculing someone else's tastes.

I like a lot of the scenes that were cut from the theatrical release individually, but as a part of the whole they don't work. All Redux manages to accomplish is to make Willard seem like more of a nice, sensible guy instead of someone who is on edge and and slipping into insanity, which kills a lot of the tension.

True, I liked him alot better when he wasn't stealing people's surfboards. :/

Deer Hunter was more about Russian Roulette and living in Pennsylvania than it was about Vietnam.  And the best part of Apocalypse Now was the Hearts of Darkness documentary that came out of it.

Platoon felt authentic as long as you ignore the Sgt. Barnes vs Sgt. Elias thing and the basic training part of Full Metal Jacket was spot on.

Why the shit is Full Metal Jacket lumped together with Forrest Gump?  Damn you.  I hate Forrest Gump.  It's a turd.
