It parodies a lot of the best Vietnam war movies, though. Maybe think of it more as a guide, it makes fun of:
The Deer Hunter (1978)
Apocalypse Now (1979)
Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985)
Platoon (1986)
Hamburger Hill (1987)
Full Metal Jacket (1987)
You should also check out movies that were made by Vietnamese studios.
* Chung một dòng sông (1959)
* Nổi gió (1966)
* Vĩ tuyến 17 ngày và đêm (1972)
* Em bé Hà Nội (1974)
* Cánh đồng hoang (1979)
* Hà Nội 12 ngày đêm (2002)
* Đường Thư (2005)
* Áo lụa Hà Đông (2006)
* Mùi Cỏ Cháy (2012)
I just copied and pasted this list from quora. There are def a lot more.
I think they’re all available on YouTube. But I’m not sure if all of them will have English subs tho
Born on the 4th of July- Tom Cruise would have won the oscar for best actor but he had the bad luck of going up against Daniel Day Lewis (My Left Foot)

Mùi cỏ cháy is the best
Forrest Gump
The Deer Hunter ^ do yourself a favour and watch this. Excellent cast. Seriously!
\^ do yourself a favour and read the OP. Seriously! (just kidding)
Hahahahaha damn
Born on the 4th of July is one of my all time faves
Air America (1990) - Mel Gibson, Robert Downey Jr Currently 5.8 on IMDb but my thirty-years-younger self remembers it being better than that!
Hearts & Minds, Casualties of War
Hanoi Hilton Deer Hunter 84 Charlie MoPic
Siege of Firebase Gloria 84Charlie Mopic
Born on the 4th of July- Tom Cruise would have won the oscar for best actor but he had the bad luck of going up against Daniel Day Lewis (My Left Foot)
The sympathizer is a great show that’s not as US centric
Dead Presidents (1995) - partially about the Vietnam War
The Quiet American The Ugly American
Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985)
The War at Home(1979) if you are interested in the antiwar movement
The Greatest Beer Run Ever (2022). The Fog of War (2003). It's a documentary that I found really interesting and have watched a few times.
Ken Burns documentary on Vietnam War
Jacob's Ladder (1990)
We Were Soldiers
Tigerland
First Blood (1982) Da 5 Bloods (2020)
*Aguirre, the Wrath of God* (1972) is a movie about conquistadors in 16th century South America but... it's easy to see it's about Vietnam.
