Let's have an old fashioned 'Nam thread. Post your favorite kinos that fit the setting and shortly say why. Discuss films, rate picks and what not.
Having read Heart Of Darkness, Apocalypse now amazed me how faithful it was to it's source material and how well it made a modern adaptation of it. The final scene where the drums just go wild is absolutely amazing, as was the whole film, and another thing that I loved about it was that I was completely mesmerized for over 2 and a half hours of it's run time (I've seen both Terminal and Theatrical version, I prefer the latter), while also impacting me by a large margin which rarely happens for me.
Fun fact, my uni professor put it on during the class last friday. Couldn't stop laughing.

Nobody cares about 'Nam anymore, where's all the Syria kino?
Brody Allen
I don't have Seagal memes at my disposal, sorry to say.
Julian Jackson
American army haven't stepped on syrian soil, so nobody cares.

I prefer the 'Nam part, but boot camp was kino to the fullest. That banter between Joker and Animal Mother always makes me laugh.
I still can't understand why people shit on it that much. It's not Apocalypse Now and it is one of the weakest films Kubrick has done, but it's good regardless and deserves it's 5 minutes of glory.

The 2nd half of the movie is absolute kino and one of the truer pleb filters.

rewatched this movie recently, while enjoying several beers. The wedding ceremony that constitutes the first act of the film is beyond words. It's masterfully constructed. When the soldier wanders in to the VA bar during the reception and just says "Fuck it" is one of the most chilling scenes I can remember. The opening tracking shot through the sawmill, the scenes at the bar, the drive up to the cabin and the hunts themselves.
Truly a flawless picture and a masterwork of cinema. Its so much more than a simple war movie, its about the soldiers themselves and everything about them in every way.
