And I suppose that there may be people who think Platoon is the best Vietnam / modern warfare movie although personally I thought it didn't add anything to the great Vietnam movies already mentioned. Overall, I would say that this list was written by somebody who wanted to appear clever by picking out some relatively obscure foreign films rather than the easy familiar choices. I can't hate them for that, as it does make it more interesting even though the only movie there that would make my personal top ten war film list is Das Boot.

Agreed 100%.
