“Looking back, we did not fight the enemy, we fought ourselves, and the enemy was in us.” Set in the thick of the Vietnam War, Platoon tells the tale of naive enlisted soldier Chris Taylor as he realizes the horrors of war both beyond, and within, the Platoon.  A film in the spirit of The Deer Hunter and All Quiet on the Western Front, Oliver Stone’s winning film depicts a cinematic version of his own experience.  As reason and madness wrestle for control, will the Platoon find itself in one piece, even if it survives the battle?  Find out now:Current Rankings:Lawerence of Arabia The GodfatherAll About EveThe Godfather Part IIGone With Wind It Happened One NightAmadeus The Deer HunterThe StingAll The King’s MenThe Lost WeekendBridge on the River KwaiOne Flew Over The Cuckoos NestThe French ConnectionOn The WaterfrontThe Sound Of MusicCasablancaAll Quiet on the Western FrontRebeccaIn The Heat of the NightThe Mutiny On The BountyYou Can’t Take It With You MartyMrs. Miniver My Fair LadyPattonGentleman’s AgreementHamletCimarron Ben HurChariots of FireGandhiAnnie HallMidnight CowboyBest Years of Our LivesFrom Here to EternityOliver!Around the World in 80 DaysThe ApartmentThe Great ZiegfeldA Man Of All SeasonsThe West Side StoryWingsGrand HotelRockyOut of AfricaTom JonesKramer v KramerLife of Emil ZolaHow Green Was My ValleyAn American in ParisGoing My WayGreatest Show On EarthOrdinary PeopleTerms of EndearmentBroadway Melody CavalcadeGigi
