GOOD MORNING VIETNAM (Theatrical Release USA 1987)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.6|5.0 Starsìììì

Good Morning Vietnam—classic for Robin Williams, shows his genius as he takes the story by storm and allows place for the best of Forest Whitaker. Robin Williams assumes character in such a profound way that the movie earns re-watchability status from the getgo. Director Barry Levinson allows the creativity to flow and turns out a completely entertaining film.
