It's nice seeing a young Harrison Ford in AN after he did SW.

I'd also need to rewatch both to pick a favourite. I agree with everyone who said they're very different experiences.
If people are going to throw Full Metal Jacket in the mix then it's even harder. Full Metal Jacket gave the widest spectrum and was quite trippy towards the end. -

Agreed.
My movie watching game in the past few years needs work. I think I’d appreciate FMJ and the others so much more now than when in did before.
I’m sure you’ve seen re-watching movies, after many years gives you a different experience.

They’re about the same.
I wanted to say Apocalypse but neither one has redeeming qualities.

Apocalypse Now is the better film overall, but Platoon is the better Vietnam movie.
