I was going to say The Deet Hunter because it is by far the best film that involves war in my opinion but since it is not really entirely a "war movie" I guess it would not qualify.
just watched the longest day ....really good movie ....tons of stars in it n the mighty john wayne.........class act ......i really cant imagine a movie b in produced nowadays with all those stars n locations in it ....quality stuff...
a bridge over the river kwai....good stuff 2

Without a doubt it has to be Casualties of War. This is a powerful film that pulls no punches when showing the horrors and the cruelties of war. It's based on a true story about a group of American soldiers during the Vietnam War who abduct a teen-age Vietnamese girl and drag her on a long-range reconnaissance mission.
They torture, rape and finally murder her. The Michael J Fox character is the only one in the group who refuses to participate in the abuse and fights his commrades and commanding officers to finally get justice for her.
What is really great and different about this movie is that it does not glorify war but instead illustrates how it brutalizes and dehumanizes both the soldier and the civilian.
Michael J Fox and Sean Penn give outstanding performances.

Agreed one of Michaels better films.
