This is the best of the recent Vietnam films and certainly one of the best war films ever. Brutal and black, realistic and terrifying, it portrays the systematic dehumanization of training and the resulting horror of actual war. Unreservedly acclaimed by the critics, this masterpiece must be seen.

PLATOON (1986)
Certification15 Our Rating
Oliver Stone's autobiographical account of life at the front in Vietnam deservedly swept the Oscars. It is particularly strong in portraying the tensions within the army social group between the brutal all-American rednecks and the more liberally inclined cynics.

THE DEER HUNTER (1979)
Certification18 Our Rating
The story of three steel workers caught up in the Vietnam war. Concentrates as much on the shattering effect on their families as much as on the conflict itself. This emotionally charged movie kicked off America's self-examination of this shameful episode in it's history. Stunningly powerful. Won Best Picture at 1978 Academy Awards.
