Off Topic Movie Question
Just a quick one since I know that there are a few film buffs on the
list...

Can someone tell me the title of a Vietnam flick from a few years back
that had an intense scene in a rice paddy while playing the piece,
'Adagio for Strings' from Samuel Barber? This is the same piece that
is played at the end of the film 'Elephant Man' having the same effect.

Thanks

Type in "Adagio for Strings" and it'll respond "Platoon (1986)"
