El Rich-o: What's the Dixie Cups track?
"Chapel of Love". Plays a few seconds before that scene when they're in the bunker talking about the "thousand yard stare" and such.

Of course, that could be that I've probably only watched the whole movie 2 or 3 times. I usually stop after the "boot camp" stuff. Because everything after that is just...weak.
Kubrick, man. He should've stopped after "FMJ". It was at least *half* great. But then he had to go and do "Eyes Wide Shut", which just sucks.

realmolo: Yeah, that wasn't a "soundtrack" movie. I can't even remember any songs on it, honestly.

Yeah, the boot camp *is* the movie. The other part is just Modine weak sauce and feels like a straight to VHS product.

It *does* feel like a straight to VHS product. I could never quite put my finger on it, but yeah. It's just dull, and obvious. I wonder how much better it could've been if it hadn't been filmed on a set.
Anyway, I always have to mention this when a "Vietnam movie" thread comes up:
My dad was a Marine in Vietnam. He says that BY FAR the most realistic Vietnam scenes are the scenes in "Forrest Gump". He actually had to leave the theater part of the way into them.

I've heard the same, especially the rain season and how sudden it starts then stops.

Yeah, when Forest Gump came out, there were reports of Vietnam Vets breaking down in theaters during those scenes. But the same was said about Platoon also

Same with "Stripes".

Thudfark: Once upon a time, every movie had a soundtrack released as well. I had the Full Metal cassette. Some soundtracks had music on them that weren't even in the movie. On occasion, none of the music on the soundtrack was in the movie.
Lot of times, that was because the song was in a scene that didn't make it into the final cut.
An example is Boogie Nights. The filmmakers had enough songs to fill 2 soundtrack CDs, but several songs didn't make it in because the movie was running over 3 hours.

detonator: "Fortunate Son" for the umpteenth thousandth time I bet

Best version yet. (Maybe a little NSFW). Outstanding song and the visuals fit the lyrics perfectly.

Biledriver: El Rich-o: What's the Dixie Cups track?
"Chapel of Love". Plays a few seconds before that scene when they're in the bunker talking about the "thousand yard stare" and such.
The only Dixie Cups tune I like is 'Two Way Pock a Way' which would go well on this or any other movie soundtrack.

Problem was that Vietnam looked a whole lot like an industrial area on the outskirts of London, and it looked bloody cold too.

Fun fact: Boomers oppose including women in Selective Service because that would turn "Fortunate Son" into an anachronism.
