50 Best Vietnam War Movies of All Time

As is the case with most war films, movies based on the Vietnam War tend to reflect the nature of the war itself: The fractured mental state of Americans at the time, the political upheaval, and the barbarity of the battles. These movies are often downbeat in nature, focusing on the failure of the American war effort, and the ignoble way it was fought. By exploring these ideas, many of these films have gone on to achieve notable critical acclaim, and are often considered cinematic masterpieces today.
