    For now I'll limit myself to Vietnam movies. Kudos to Johann for listing the forgotten 84 Charlie Mopic, in which the first-person p.o.v. is consistently used. Kudos to Chris for comments regarding Apocalypse Now, Born on the Fourth of July, The Deer Hunter and Coming Home. I actually think Born has enough going to recommend. I despise Hunter. Yes, it lies and manipulates. For me, it's a racist exploitation flick; an awarded, well-made one, which makes me hate it even more.
    Let's not forget a couple of docs. Hearts and Minds is a masterpiece. I also like Vietnam:Long Time Coming from the directors of Hoop Dreams. It's about vets from both sides getting together to bicycle the 1200 miles between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
