Full Metal Jacket is a must see for war movie fans. Platoon received raved, and critically acclaimed reviews, which in my opinion, Platoon was highly overrated.
Full Metal Jacket is a much better movie than Platoon. Stanley Kubrick's: FMJ war adaptation is very emotionally powerful, and realistic.
Another recommendation of mine would be, Casualties of War, starring Michael J. Fox, and Sean Penn. Both of these movies are exceptionally good.

I also thought Platoon was over-rated too.
My list would include:
Saving Private Ryan
Black Hawk Down
Apocalypse Now
Paths of Glory
Full Metal Jacket
Zulu
Bridge on the River Kwai
Das Boot
Patton
We Were Soldiers
Waterloo
Braveheart
Casualties of War
A Bridge Too Far
Troy
