I thought "Apocalypse Now" tried to be the most counter-culture-ive :)

'Full Metal Jacket' is probably one of the best anti-war films out there.

WEIRD! i just saw this right as they showed the "didn't your mommy and daddy show you enough attention when you were a child" scene from FMJ on this kubrick documentary i'm burning to DVD. kubrick apparently saw it not as an antiwar movie but was intended to jusst be about war, kinda neutrally. but it's hard to do a movie about vietnam and not have it seem futile somehow.
anyway, for 70s antiwar movies there's a much-overlooked chestnut from, i think 78?, called "boys of company C." it's very damn good.

Speaking of pictures which give war a bad rep in the vein of FMJ, you can't forget 'Saving Private Ryan', surely the Apocalypse Now of the 90s.

SPR is a great movie but nowhere near where apocalypse now is in terms of the whole spirituality tip.
