I saw it theatrically myself, though I was only 14 it had a profound effect on me. I remember my Father who was a Vietnam Veteran himself saying to me after the film that it was the most realistic depiction of the war he'd ever seen. He was visibly shaken by it.

I got my Blu-ray today and just had to watch it. I'm going to watch a few more war movies in the days leading up to Memorial Day. I traditionally do themed blocks of movies around certain holidays.

The first half of this movie was pretty good though...
I was drawn in by the aspects of the church which both questions itself and believes in its principles without question.

The Duke's movies didn't really sell the realities of war, did they??

8??? I had no idea they've gotten that far, they obviously haven't gotten better.

I've heard about other men who fought in the war having that same reaction. There's no better critic, than someone who lived through it, I would imagine. I mean Stone himself was a vet, so I would expect nothing less.

Wow you guys really love Platoon. It was a fine movie but I wouldn't say a 10 by any means. I'd give it a solid 8.
