my top 20 movies

[Fro]

Ya know, I haven't seen Platoon in probably 20 years. Tom Berenger was a bad ass.

I bought it at the used book/and stuff store.

Yes, Berenger was a
bad

ass and Willem

Dafoe was

too.

Platoon is alright, but I think it is quite flawed. I decided to read a few reviews to see what the critics thought of it at the time, and I found this which I think is a pretty accurate analysis of it, but I imagine you will disagree with it being a fan and all.
