I`m particuarly concentrating on Platoon, Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, Saving Private Ryan, The Longest Day. Im looking to see how these films represent US culture and attitudes of the times. Any information or links to decent websites would be most helpful. Thanks James __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
