Vietnam films on Blu-ray

[Samcro]

I'm a history graduate and my favourite subject of study is the Vietnam war. Slowly building my Blu-Ray collection and would like to collect every Vietnam
Film or film set around the Vietnam war that I can. It doesn't have to be educational, it's for entertainment as well as my interest! That means missing in Action is perfect fine .

I've put a list together on Amazon and found what I can, would appreciate if people could fill in any blanks. Looking for feature films and documentaries. The film has to be available on blu ray as not interested in DVD's. Will include
List so far below. Thanks guys.

Deer hunter
Born on the Fourth of July
Hamburger hill
Full metal jacket
Apocalypse now
Missing in action 1,2 and 3.
Rambo 1 and 2
Forrest Gump
Casualties of war
Good morning Vietnam
Platoon
Ultimate Vietnam 50th anniversary
American experience: last days in Vietnam
Vietnam in HD

Really great movie. Doesn't get a lot of recognition. I think a lot of people either don't know it exists or it just gets overlooked but worth checking out.

I'm sure you don't want to go too far afield in the 'indirect allegorical allusions to Vietnam' direction but give M*A*S*H a look. It was set during the Korean War but there's barely a sub in the extremely obvious subtext.

And it's a great movie.

I really like what I have seen of Battlefiel Vietnam 1+2 on BD.
It has great archival footage, and detailed maps of battles and conflict zones.
Also, it has a wealth of background information on the players, etc..
It think this is the best out there, if you truly want to learn about the Vietnam war.

I also have
the UK steelbook of "We Were Soldiers", which is gut-wrenching.
Rescue Dawn, which doesn't take place in VN. It's still interesting though.
Apocalypse Now, which really doesn't count as a VN film IMHO.
I am waiting to watch my copy of Last Days in VN until the end of Battlefield VN.
Full Metal Jacket.
Platoon.

Rambo: First Blood part II.

[HD Goofnut]

Bat*21 and Uncommon Valor, but neither are on BD unfortunately.

I want Off Limits

Skip Hearts and Minds. It's just left-wing propaganda.

Sorry to disagree with you but a history major interested in Vietnam War-related films should be open to all viewpoints, both left and right. Also, this happens to be an excellent documentary and I happen to be an open-minded history graduate who is also a Vietnam veteran.
