Apocalypse Now...easily.
More quotables, and in general, has the real sense of PTSD presented.

I prefer Platoon over A.N.
Saving Private Ryan for me. I acknowledge Apocalypse Now is the superior movie tho. I just enjoyed SPR more.

Saving Private Ryan was WWII. It's difficult to compare warfare that's 20-25 years apart.
I understand that.
But compared to any Vietnam movie (Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, etc) the vets said AN. I can't imagine and have never heard many say SPR was much like their experience.
I have heard that the Normany invasion was pretty accurate tho.

Rest of the movie is wandering around and running into random people stranded/not knowing what their orders are or the next move. accurate given the times they lived without much communication
High quality poster

Apocalypse now is the goat movie period.
Apocalypse Now is in my top 3. I liked SPR a lot too, but it's propaganda. AN doesn't try to make Vietnam pretty. It takes a while, but the director's cut is piff
Take 2-3 sittings if you think it's too long, but it's basically a string of vignettes or short stories that cover the war from different perspectives. You understand more what it's all about from the long version
