[Raven1986]

Air America with Mel Gibson and a very young Robert Downey Jr.
Even though the movie is not set directly in Vietnam, more in neighbouring Laos, it depicts the problems such as drugs, corruption, uselessness of it all very well.

 

[DMN666]

I have only seen FMJ. Im not really a Viet guy, more of WWII fellow myself.

 

[Floyd]

The Deer Hunter captures the times and war pretty well. Especially for a film made so close to the end of the war.
