Platoon (1986)
Platoon is somewhat of an older film but is considered to be one of the best movies on Netflix. Platoon is a proper adaptation of the many things that can go wrong in the human mind when pushed to its limit. A young man, who is played by the amazing Charlie Sheen with a longing for glory enlists in the Vietnam war but quickly realizes the costs that come with the position. Especially when they are forced to treat the locals in a way he doesn’t agree with. The film is more of a psychological thriller than a war movie.
