FMJ
FMJ is fricking garbage.
WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION, NUMBNUTS?!
I'm going to unscrew your head and shit down your neck
Did your parents have any children that lived?
Is that you John Wayne?
Thin Red Line
easy
Better than Platoon, but not either of the other two.
dust doesn't settle fing moron

You'd need one if you were ever in the shit but you would never be because you'd fake a disability or flee abroad
the one with kino
Platoon. Written and directed by a vet. Love AN of course and enjoy FMJ very much.
Platoon followed up with Born on the 4th of July
If you're answer isn't Apoc Now, your moronic.

It was good but it was more so one mans story and a rogue Colonel. It's too bad Marlon Brando was in his no fricks given phase but they made his shots work.
one man's story that perfectly encapsulated everything wrong about the war and why it made no sense.
brando still gave a memorable peformance and i fricking despite the guy.
I get it but Hamburger Hill achieved that perspective and Platoons perspective simultaneously. So maybe it's the greatest. Brando looked like a fat frick in some shots it kinda took you out of the moment.
Apocalypse Now>Full Metal Jacket>Platoon
Platoon comes off pretentious with Dafoe as some christ figure, but the grounded stuff showing Charlie Sheen as a rookie is fine.
Barnes as the devil, Chris in the middle with them fighting for possession of his soul. It's called high art without losing any of the grit or realism. Highest order kino. Platoon and Wall Street qualify Stone as a genius.
apocalypse now. nothing even comes close in any aspect.
>setting
>soundtrack
>peformances
>cinematography
it went way deeper than FMJ with it's themes. the unpreparedness of american soldiers, the weakness inherent to seeking comfort in a warzone, the hipocrisy of 'humane' war, all the lunacy of it.
plus there's an occult theme i still have not cracked despite all these years. something like an initiation but very esotheric.
Apocalypse Now > Full Metal Jacket >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Platoon
Charlie Sheen is a horrible actor.
plus Charlie Sheen don't surf.
Deer hunter
That movie took its sweet ass time to get to the point but it was good.
There it is. People filtered by the first half are turboplebs.
Is the Deer Hunter worth watching?
It's good but it starts out very very slow. You gotta power through like half of it.
You can scroll Cinemaphile for the first 50 minutes; until you see the wedding scene.
Rank them however you want; as long as you remember that none of them come close to these three
Apocalypse Now is the most kino. Full Metal Jacket is the most entertaining. Platoon is a middle ground.
Deer Hunter is better than all of these three.
Platoon is the most rewatchable IMO. Apocalypse Now is great but by design it's exhausting to watch.
the name is too uncool or id watch it
it's 2 hours of gays rolling around in the mud and screaming
It refers to getting minced by bombs and guns.
Platoon is the best of those three. FMJ drops off a fricking cliff after basic training and Apoc is pretentious meandering filth.
Platoon tells a story with a as satisfying an ending as you can get in a nam film.
Coming Home.
Hot Shots! Part Deux
Vietnam was 100x more kino than WW2.
The best "War on Terror" kino is yet to be made.
.
I've noticed that classic war movies bring out the worst takes on Cinemaphile. Check the other Apocalypse Now thread from today. Beyond lack of taste, it's complete lack of understanding. Wild.
Kubrick is the GOAT director.
AN > FMJ > P
FMJ is the worst
The Deer Hunter obviously
Watched Platoon the other day and while it’s good it doesn’t feel as epic as Full Metal Jacket or Apocalypse Now was.
Platoon was not meant to be epic
Platoon at least had this gem of a song
All three of them kind of suck, but at least FMJ has R Lee Ermey busting everyone's balls in the first part and that was worth a laugh.
>Themes and story
Apocalypse
>Realism
Platoon
>Capturing the actual day-to-day insanity of life as a grunt
