The films seem to change every few hours

Anyhow I am not a big fan of war films but I have seen Platoon more times than Full Metal Jacket and although Platoon is a little melodramatic and overrated I will give the nod to it.

Full Metal Jacket's drill sergeant middle section is a much better piece of filming than Platoon as a whole, but everything after that just seems like an anti climax to me.

Better extras on the Platoon DVD too

Full Metal Jacket 1
Platoon 2
