I like most of them but from your pole choice it would be Apocalypse Now.
|
|
How can you have a pole and not put The Green Berets on it?
Come on man, we are talking about John Wayne, the Duke! |
|
What was the name of that John Wayne movie with the kid running around at the end looking in the Huey’s for his adopted friend?

Tropic Thunder
Change my mind. (I'm actually somewhat embarrassed to admit the only one on that list I've seen is Good Morning Vietnam) |

Trailer - La 317e Section - Colorized with neural network |

Quoted:
317 seems cool. Where can I find it streaming? View Quote ETA: This is the site I got it from. Decent quality aside from the subtitle issue mentioned above. There may be somewhere better, though. http://rarefilm.net/la-317eme-section-the-317th-platoon-1965-pierre-schoendoerffer/ Also, apparently Amazon has the bootlegs with English subtitles for sale. |

Quoted:
I don't think it's available for streaming anywhere. Took me a while to find a download site. Without paying, it took 13 hours to download, plus I had to download the English subtitles separately. Both DivX files. Most of the time the Spanish subtitles seemed more true to what was being said and the English ones run away later during the film; the latter do sometimes correspond better to the French, though. Let me see if I can find where I got it. I think someone else here searched and found a better download site. There are also bootleg copies with English subtitles on DVD for the correct region (Studio Canal only releases the DVD for the French region, IIRC, and has no subtitles).

I bought 317th Platoon and then donated it to the local library.
It's that good. Best review I've seen. Directed by Pierre Schoendorfer, a Dienbienphu survivor, and photographed by Raoul Coutard, who shot "Breathless" (the real one, Godard's) and Truffaut's best films, this is in every way the best, most real and gripping filmed drama of the Indochina wars ever made. It was photographed in glorious black-and-white on location in Cambodia. If you were a combat veteran, line doggie or LRRP in Vietnam this wonderful movie will resonate with you. The little details are there, sounds, faces, jungle rivers, all of it. If you weren't there and want to know what it was like then you should purchase this film. No other film comes close to the understated realism and gritty reality of Schoendorfer's masterpiece -- and I've seen them all. This is a true masterpiece of the war film genre and the best "Vietnam movie" ever made. Trust me. https://www.amazon.com/317th-Platoon-Jacques-Perrin/dp/B075RVGLD3#customerReviews |

If I'm a kid you are an antique.
Green Berets is good and all, not even close to best Nam movie though. IMO I voted Platoon out of these choices. |
|
84C MoPic ?
Hearts and Minds ? Casualties of war ? Rescue Dawn ? |
|
OP missed a bunch in his pole so that’s a fail.
Of the choices provided I have to go with Platoon |
|
IDK about Vietnam based movies, but post Vietnam; the best of that era is without a doubt Southern Comfort.
|
|
FMJ is the best boot camp movie.
The worst part of the movie is when they are in Vietnam. |

Apocalypse Now (diretor's cut) had Playboy Bunny Bewbies and surfboards, so that.

I'd have to say We Were Soldiers. It is one of the very few Vietnam War related movies out there that doesn't portray our troops as a bunch of drug addicted, baby killing psychos.

Flight of the Intruder.. {Come on, it has Dafoe as a crazy vet, where did we see this before... Ohh right.. Platoon..}
Rescue Dawn {Batman does Vietnam} Bat 21 { Sh**y fake movie story about a MOH action} Tragedy that they didn't make a movie about the Son Tay raid.. |
