    The Deer Hunter
    Wind That Shakes the Barley
    Platoon
    Full Metal Jacket
    Born on the 4th of July

    Last one is a cracking movie about the futility of it all and is Tom Cruise' greatest role.

    Like all the Vietnam ones that have been mentioned, particularly Platoon and Apocolypse Now.

    Other films I've not seen mentioned are 13 Assassins and Zulu.

    when I was younger I used to watch Tour of duty, a tv series about the Vietnam war. I remember it being good but I was about 8/9 when I used to watch it

    Don't think The Dirty Dozens been mentioned yet?

    Paths of glory is a black and white film directed by stanley kubrick and starring kirk douglas, it is a courtroom thriller about french soldiers accused of cowardice in ww1 it is excellent and well worth a watch.

    Been eagerly waiting on this being released, whatever yi think of Mel Gibson he makes * good movies, this looks a cracker.

    The film is based on the true story of US Army medic Desmond T. Doss, a Seventh-day Adventist conscientious objector who refused to bear arms, yet was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Harry S. Truman for single-handedly saving the lives of over 75 of his comrades while under constant enemy fire during the brutal Battle of Okinawa in World War 2.
