Hamburger Hill (1987)
This gritty Vietnam War drama was overshadowed by Platoon and Full Metal Jacket, which came out around the same time, but there is a lot to recommend about Hamburger Hill.
Like those other movies, it is drenched in realism and raises difficult questions about the war and its impact - on the soldiers, on the civilians, and on the human spirit. Reviews of this movie by many Vietnam vets say it portrayed their experiences correctly.
Cast includes a young Don Cheadle and a young Dylan McDermott.
