To Heal A Nation and First Blood are my favourite films: both dealing with what happens to veterans after the war.
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

ER

Everybody forgets Oliver Stone's 1993 Heaven & Earth.
What does not kill me makes me stranger.

Of the movies listed, I've only seen Platoon, Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket. And none of them really did anything for me.

Perhaps my favourite Vietnam War movie is First Blood (1982). Alongside that is Missing In Action (1984). Now these aren't strictly Vietnam War movies, but they are directly related to the war and its after effects.
