Well, much to the delight of most posters Platoon did not make it through to the final. Personally I'm a bit sad it wasn't a closer race in the Das Boot matchup, but whatever.

Your two contenders...

Both good films, but Apocalypse Now needs to win this one.

When the 1st round brackets were posted, I predicted this final match-up. Toss up for me........AN by a nose.

AN is by leaps and bounds a better and more influenctial film than FMJ. No contest here.

For those who complian that AN isnt a real war movie, remember that AN has far more footage of battle scenes than FMJ. Both are sketchy on their war content andboth have higher meanings than all those dumbass john wayne flicks. In summary, if you like FMJ better get over yourself and vote for thecorrct choice, AN.

that's the only reason FMJ got this far. i'm a kubrick fan big time and have all his films, but FMJ just does not deserve to be even in the top 4 war movies.

das boot is the best movie. if it had some macho lines (like FMJ) or some Doors music, then you stoners would have voted for it.

You look like the kind person who would fck someone in the ass and not have the goddamn common courtesy to give 'em a reach around

Personally I feel all of the following are greater movies than either of these two:

Paths of Glory
Bridge on the River Kwai
Das Boot
Glory
The Deerhunter

I ended up voting for Apocalypse Now since I consider it a better all around complete movie than FMJ. Now, which one would I and do I watch more frequently? Easily FMJ, which shows that I have bad taste I guess.
