* This film was a box office bust, and had mixed critical and audience reviews.
People who never served in the U.S. military during a war (especially an unpopular one)
will likely scratch their head wondering why I added it to my list. I served during the
final two years of the Vietnam War. War era veterans, of any sginificant armed conflict
period will relate to this movie much, much more than a vast majority of other people.
