I'm a huge platoon fan, I just like the story and how Charlie changes. I also thought casualties of war was brilliant but it was too sad for me to watch a 2nd time
Platoon is my favorite as well. Love the contrasting cultures of the soldiers, think it really reflects where America was at on the war (old school, liquor drinking "patriots" backing violence vs. pot smokers just trying to get home alive). Oliver Stone is also an actual Vietnam vet too, Charlie is basically a self insert if I remember correctly.
