Tough call. I think the bootcamp segment of Full Metal Jacket is better than anything found in Platoon, but overall I think Platoon is the better movie so...

Platoon was one of those movies that just escaped my mind the second it ended. It just didn't leave me with anything. I did love FMJ, fully and immensely, and I still remember every part of it.

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

Ah, everybody says that about FMJ. Of course, it's also one of the most easily quoted movies I've ever seen, especially for a non-comedy...

i really love both of these movies....and i think they both attempt to break into the core of what war can do to the human condition....but honestly one scene breaks the tie for me....(from Full Metal Jacket) the scene where Joker is being yelled at for his attempts to express the duel nature of man....the entire scene is basically shot close up to the actors faces....but the entire time a giant pit full of lye covered corpses can be scene in the backround...
