    Although I didn't fight in any war, my father (O.B.M.) was a radioman on a converted LST, the USS Alecto AGP-14. My father and I had a medical practice together until he
    passed away in 2012 from Pancreatic cancer. My father's ship had an A-Frame
    which would lift and repair PT boats as well as supplying them with the necessary
    torpedoes, four I think. I read about, and watch films as well as documentaries of both
    WW 2 and the Vietnam War. But who am I to argue with people who know cinema a heck of a lot better than I do. Thank you picking your top ten Vietnam movies
    that portrayed, as best as they could, "Hell" on earth. I try to give the most respect I can to any and all veterans.

    as great as Platoon is, it only takes about 7 minutes of screen time before you realize Apocalypse Now is going to transport your mind, body and spirit into the horror of war.

    My top 10
    1. Apocalypse Now
    2. Platoon
    3.Full Metal Jacket
    4. We Were Soldiers (very underrated)
    5. The Deer Hunter
    6. Hamburger Hill
    7. Born on the Forth of July
    8. Rescue Dawn
    9. Forrest Gump (the reason it's so low is because only a very short part of it was in vietnam, but it was good enough to make it on the list)
    10.Green Berets

    @Jigsaw407 3 роки тому

    An often overlooked Vietnam war movie is Operation Dumbo Drop. It's a little more comedic but is based on the true story of a group of misfit soldiers going a journey to replace the working elephant of a village that got killed in a firefight. Awesome soundtrack, great cast and a really heartwarming adventure.

    -3: Go tell the Spartans (1978).
    -2: Platoon Leader (1988) with Dudikoff.
    -1: POW the escape (1986).

    In my opinion, one of the best Vietnam movies I've seen is 'Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan." It's about the Australians and New Zealanders and one of their major combat actions during the war. I thought it was really good and encourage others to watch as well.

  • @weslove6018
    @weslove6018 3 роки тому +1

    Let's see observations from a Marine in Vietnam Combat!!!! First Platoon was what not to do!!! Then Born on the Fourth of July was a total loss of faith and I knew Ron Kovic's radio man personally!! Then there was Deer Hunter, sorry I didn't play Russian Roulette when I was there. Finally the big Number one. Sorry I didn't have a chance to water ski down a river either. This was supposed to be based on Tony Poe's life but politics got in the way!! What I was involved in was about four fire fights a day every day for over four months and the nearest movie to what I did in Vietnam was a movie called (84 C Mopic)!! Oh wait, no known stars in the movie, yet it portrayed trying to stay alive in the bush, when they went out, though I was out 95% of the time, Company area for four hours every nine days. These to me are nice Hollywood movies and yes I watched and liked too except for the first half of Full Metal Jacket, I personally lived that!! So people out there if you want what Vietnam was really like (in the bush) see (84 C Mopi.

    The night time firefight is so realistic, so exactly like one I was in up on the Rockpile, I had some kind of weird post traumatic experience the first time I saw Platoon. PTSD became a ploy for scamming undeserved wealth, just like Agent Orange; but that relatively small number of us, of the huge number deployed, who actually experienced combat were affected.
