25 best war movies – Platoon (1986)

‪Platoon‬ (1986)

Though Charlie Sheen's character in Platoon starts out optimistic and full of ideals, he soon ends up as cynical as his Two and a Half Men alter-ego. Claustrophobic jungle fighting and a level of violence that shocked 80s audiences are the backdrop to a plot that has you wondering who the real enemy is.

Casualties Of War should be in there. The tension is electric and the film is barely watchable in parts. The subject matter, American war crimes, meant it would never get the Hollywood treatment but it made it a better film, Totally absorbing, it'll have you on the edge of your seat throughout.
