Its pretty close between full metal jacket and apocalypse now. For me apocalypse now wins its one of those movies I could (and have) watched over and over!

I really like Stanley Kubrick and full metal jacket is one of his best films. loved the gunnery sergeant especially. but my favorite 'nam film would be between born on the fourth of July and platoon. I haven't seen apocalypse now but I do have it and will give it a watch tonight.

Apocalypse now would be in my top 10 movies of all time... its a little slow paced, a bit like blade runner. Try not to think of it as an army movie or even a war movie.... I know that sounds weird but yeah...
P.S. the gunnery sergeant in Apocalypse now is much better...
Very quotable...

I have seen all of the above mentioned and for me it's a toss up between Full Metal Jacket and Platoon. Apocalypse Now is easily the 3rd best IMO though.
Maybe Platoon. Yeah Platoon by a nose. Because of that scene when Elias, well you know.

I really like Stanley kubrick's full metal jacket as a study on human conditions like most of his films but as a war film it felt a little dated but still my favorite based on story, but For being a war film Francis ford Coppola's apocolypse now a d closely followed by Oliver stone's platoon
