OK, I was being a bit of a smartass, as is my wont. Looking at non-documentary feature films about The Vietnam War and its aftermath (and in three instances on my list, the preamble to the conflict or it spilling over into neighboring Cambodia), The Deer Hunter actually makes my top twelve. Just.
1. Apocalypse Now
2. Full Metal Jacket
3. The Killing Fields
4. Platoon
5. Coming Home
6. Born on the Fourth of July
7. Casualties of War
8. Hamburger Hill
9. Jacknife
10. The Quiet American
11. Good Morning, Vietnam
12. The Deer Hunter
13. 84 Charlie MoPic
14. In Country
15. Rescue Dawn
But, yeah, I don't like The Deer Hunter.
