Great movie though bro.

Both are excellent, but I voted for Full Metal Jacket. All the performances are brilliant. And I love how it totally changes gears half way through.

I now have a new Joker avatar. :lol

Sorry, Apocalypse Now for me as well

I've got to go with Apocolypse Now - so many days after class in high school watching this film over and over ...

But for your poll, Full Metal Jacket - can't go wrong with Kubrick. I like Platoon, but never thought it was quite as good as everyone said it was.

EVILFACE · Aug 29, 2008

Overall, Platoon is better.

Platoon with FMJ bootcamp segment, would be the greatest ever.

barryo · Aug 29, 2008

platoon................who didnt cheer when barnes got fragged? a lot of good performances from some unknowns at the time this was made & outstanding ones from the ones who were.

i liked both very much & own both as well.

Bingo.

Platoon was great, but would still have to stand in a chair to kiss Apocalypse's ass---and Full Metal Jacket was a train wreck after about 30-40 minutes in.

carbo-fation · Aug 30, 2008

Platoon. Though Apokalypse Now and FMJ are great as well.

arnax161 · Aug 31, 2008

Apocalypse Now is a great one, The Air Cav scenes rule. PLATOON in my opinion had a better story. The technical accuracy of PLATOON is amazing as well. I will always love FULL METAL JACKET, because I saw it about a month before I went to basic training down at Fort Benning, Georgia in 1988.

Oh yeah, no one has mentioned HAMBURGER HILL. That movie kicked butt!!! The battle scenes are incredible and it honors the spirit of the 101st Airborne.
