Default Vietnam movies

so, for whatever reason, my g/f recently decided that she was in the mood to watch a few war movies, specifically about Vietnam...

being that i only have a few Vietnam movies in my collection, i chose the following to be showed in order...

#1 - "Full Metal Jacket" - the first half of the movie takes place in boot camp, where human beings are turned into soldiers, and ends w/
[Show spoiler]what is presumably Joker's first kill (albeit a dying woman begging to be put out of her misery)


#2 - "Platoon" - tells the story of a "grunt" new to the war & trying to cope w/ the atrocities & injustices inherent in such an undertaking...

#3 - "Apocalypse Now" - takes place once the fatigues & madness of war have begun to sink in & how an experienced soldier deals w/ such in ways both good & evil

#4 - "Born on the Fourth of July" - the second Oliver Stone Vietnam drama in the series, while it tells the true story of a young man going to war, also explores the trials & tribulations that veterans faced once returning home...


so that was the best i could do w/ what i have available... just curious which other Vietnam movies are deemed essential (i can name quite a few, but don't own them), and where you would place them in the sequence...
