Apocalypse Now. But at some point, there's no use comparing, as each film has its own merits
Jacob Baker
this on both points
best post ive seen in weeks user

There are none. Apocalypse Now, Platoon, and Born on the Fourth of July come close, but none are able to match the emotional impact of this film.
Isaac Bennett
Tangentially, also maybe Taxi Driver.
Logan Rodriguez
I think there still hasn't been a great Vietnam film. The Big Four (Deer Hunter, Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now, Platoon) all have their moments but are deeply flawed. I hope someday directors return to 'Nam films, cause there's definitely kino potential there.
Landon Sanders
Return Of The Jedi. Those Ewoks!
Kayden Phillips
>but are deeply flawed
in what way ?
its also important to look at them with the mindset of the times they were maid in
Nolan Perez
>deer hunter remake would be about arab americans instead of russian americans
could be kino
Matthew Harris
Jayden Butler
True, they all have merits, but Apocalypse Now still has the greatest scene ever filmed.
Lucas Mitchell
Yeah, both WW2 and the modern middle east wars all have plenty of exciting propaganda movies. All Vietnam movies are depressing anti-war stuff. We Were Soldiers is the only exception, but Mel is the exception to everything.
Dominic Martin
Yes, the plantation sequence.
Tyler Howard

jesus is disappointed in you user. try taking part in an actual war and them come back to me

Taste is relative, but Platoon and Born on the Fourth of July aren't anywhere near the same class as Apocalypse Now. They're Gump-tier. As for OP's question, I'd say Apocalypse Now, but The Deer Hunter is a close second.
James Sanchez
You missed the point. War movies are fun when they aren't realistic. You can't tell me that watching Deer Hunter doesn't make you feel depressed, with all the horror the experience? I wasn't trying to say war is nice.

I thought it was weird how Mike's personality completely changes once he comes back from Vietnam. It's kind of hard to believe he would come back less crazy than before leaving. Apparently in the earlier drafts it was Nick who came back but they decided to switch his plot-line with Mike and didn't bother rewriting the first act.

Rambo II

This is my favorite. Not saying it's the best but it's maximum comfy for me.
Anthony Gonzalez
Army Dog
Dylan Jenkins
It's not a movie but Generation Kill is tons of fun while still being realistic.
Joseph Ortiz
Apocalypse Now. Thats unfair though since its also the best film ever made.
The idea that Russian roulette was that big really takes away from the film.
Caleb Ortiz
Reminder that the second half of Full Metal Jacket is the greatest pleb filter of all time.
Nolan Martin
>We Were Soldiers
Great movie. Based Mel
Daniel Cox
Apocalypse Now is the best movie ever made.
Charles Ross
the second half of that movie is much better than the first half
Luke Fisher
Rambo.
Evan Rodriguez
This movie kicks ass.
Logan Roberts
For me Platoon is the ultimate Vietnam film followed closely by Hamburger Hill. Apocalypse Now and The Deer Hunter are a bit too surreal or treat the war in an ancillary sort of way. With Platoon and Hamburger Hill the war itself is the star of the film.
Jonathan Murphy
based
Anthony Price
I unironically liked it as well.
Jeremiah Jackson
Daniel Hernandez
it's not particularly kino, but Hamburger Hill has such no-nonsense, no filler MOVEMENT as a movie, that it holds the spot as my favorite Vietnam war movie.
Adrian Barnes
It makes me sad though. Black people used to make the best American music.
Mason Brown
Platoon
Apocalypse now
Full metal jacket
Rambo
Wyatt Martinez
Disliking the second half is a meme. It's genuinely great,

such a sham, literally no one was ever forced to play russian roulette in nam
it's a good movie but vietnam it ain't
Adam Hill
almost any
Luis Powell
It's a metaphor you dingbat
Andrew Roberts
WAIT A MINUTE! Wasn't Travis in taxi driver a klepto because he'd just got back from nam? Mabey de niros character in deer hunter went on to be the taxi driver after the events of the film?
Jose Allen
also name a better movie about working in the metal industry. god i love being a fabricator
Josiah Watson

Adrian Sanchez
>it's a bad movie cuz de niro has a black wife
Gee, sure glad I'm not as sensitive as you
Brody Jenkins
Recommended me some good Vietnam films that aren't extremely famous and haven't been seen by everyone and their mum 100 times. They don't have to be kino, just decent. Pic related was cool af.
Isaac Rogers
the one with It Ain't Me in the soundtrack
Ethan Adams
>putting Platoon on the same level as FMJ, Apocalypse Now, or Deer Hunter
It’s really not even close to the quality of the others.
Logan Russell
Bullet in the head. Highly underrated John Woo kino
Hunter Rivera
I saw the russain roullete as a metaphor for the chaos and randomness of battle. Instead of filming battle scenes with exterior foes, they went with interior battles with chance and luck, but both end the same way. Getting shot dead
