Sir yes sir!

One of the best films ever.

Although Private Pile looks pretty slim these days.... or am I just getting old and fat?

Already have it on DVD, and agree that it is a great movie. The opening bit with the drill sergeant in the day bunk house screaming at everyone is a masterpiece.

That and Apocalypse Now are my fave war movies on Vietnam.  Chris

Also watched this the other night. The bloke playing the drill sergeant apparently ad-libbed most of his rants in the movie. What a guy! Just looked on Wikipedia and he (R Lee Ermey) is a real ex marine drill instructor who also appeared in Apocalypse Now.

Another good Vietnam programme was the series Tour of Duty

Frankie's House about Tim Page the war photographer was also a really good series. Worth reading his book Page after Page if you can find a copy - Good account of Vietnam. His photography is fantastic.
