Platoon (1986) starring Tom Berenger, Willem Dafoe, Charlie Sheen. Directed by Oliver Stone. "Cherry" Chris Taylor (Sheen) arrives in Vietnam in 1967, at the height of the war. Berenger plays Barnes, a hard-ass sergeant who leads the platoon in the destruction of a village. Dafoe plays Elias, the good sergeant to Berenger's bad sergeant, trying to bring some reason to the chaos of the war. The combat sequences are as intense as any I've seen on film. This movie won four Oscars, including Best Picture. It offers a choice of subtitles in English or closed captions. Grade: A
