Ah okay you were listing just the Vietnam films you had. The Big Red One is no big budget Saving Private Ryan, but the director Sam Fuller was a WWII veteran and so was Marvin. I have the reconstruction version, with some extended scenes.

The thing that annoyed me on Full Metal Jacket was when the sniper takes another shot at one of the wounded guys, Kubrick puts it in slow motion when they're groaning out ever time. Got old. What I did like about it was the urban landscape instead of the jungle. I'm from the south so I have a silly redneck accent, didn't bother me. Jason Isaacs (Steele) and Eric Bana (Hoot) attempt of a southern accent was embarrassing in Black Hawk Down though.
