This movie blew my mind... I need to watch it again to fully understand it. What an unadulterated look at the horrible, rotten core of the Vietnam conflict.
Apocalypse Now: Best war movie ever?

Heart of Darkness in order to watch it

That's too bad, Heart of Darkness is a good book.
Love Apocalypse Now, one of my favorite war movies.

Full Metal Jacket is tops by far.
Honorable mention Platoon.

Shindler's List for me......but it's a different kinda war movie. The DDay scene from Saving Private Ryan is probably my fav single war scene in amovie.

I know it's not a movie per-se, but I just wanted to mention Band of Brothers in this thread

I haven't seen Platoon since I was 14.
I couldn't have appreciated it as much I can now that I'm 24.
I'll give it a watch tomorrow.

I gotta say.
I really enjoyed Flags Of Our Fathers.
I think I went to see it twice. I smoked so much back in those days I really can't remember.
But the first time I saw it I was sober and I remember enjoying it.

It's definitely up there with The Deer Hunter (my number 1 war movie) Full Metal Jacket and Saving Private Ryan. Still haven't seen Platoon.
