Re: Greatest War Movie of All Time - Elite Eight
probably the most realistic Vietnam war film out there...(let's face it, Full Metal Jacket is too cool/surreal to be realistic - Kubrick wasn't a big fan of realism)
If for no other reason then it was written by a vet, I think it's worth watching - glad to see it in the top 9
I'm REALLY waiting to see if Saving Private Ryan can stay ahead of Apoc. Now - Personally, I have nothing against Coppela, but again, that was more of a drama - Hell, it's the retelling of that Joseph Conrad story Heart of Darkness in Vietnam, that's all...
The best war movies should be realistic, IMHO....
