Platoon

I never knew this movie has so many famous faces in it: Charlie Sheen, William Defoe, Forrest Whittaker, Johnny Depp, Dr. Cox from Scrubs. It's a nice foil to Apocalypse Now which despite having the older Sheen was only made 9 years earlier. This is a lot more realistic--in Oliver Stone style--and less subtle and poetic than Apocalypse Now, but I enjoy it slightly more; you can relate to Charlie's Chris Taylor than you can to Martin's Ben Willard.
