Recomend me War Movies.

The Big Red One, early eighties WWII film with Lee Marvin. Black Hawk Down - Mogadishu.

I'll take Platoon over Full Metal Jacket. About all the characters in the film are based off real people Oliver Stone knew.

And most of Full Metal Jacket was Michael Herr and Gustav Hasford retelling their experiences. There were also no silly redneck accents and the theme song playing every time there isn't any dialogue. I have Black Hawk down also. Really liked it. I will look into the Big red One.

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.

Your redneck accent is not silly, i bet. It's realistic. Black Hawk Down's redneck accents were also silly. And i agree with the slow motion in Full Metal Jacket. Of course the awesome dialogue makes up for it.
