Platoon (1986)

Here is a movie that is so powerful and so devastating to watch that it haunts for days after you see it.  Jack has seen this film several times and had to endure another screening so he could share his thoughts with all the cinefiles out there.  Platoon is one of the great war films ever made.  It is emotional. It is raw.  There are many incredible films that have won the Best Picture Oscar over the 93 years since its inception. However, there are a select few of those winning movies that are truly special.  Films that not only stand the test of time but also that have a special place in our hearts.  Platoon is one of those films.  The 1986 winner has it all: great acting, an amazing script, amazing direction, and a score that puts a perfect bow on it all.  Download and listen to Jack's analysis of this classic as he delves deeper into this sports film that's far from being only about sports.  Does Jack believe it deserves his Rewatch Oscar?  Listen and find out.
