Jacob's Ladder

1990 Adrian Lyne thriller stars Tim Robbins, Elizabeth Pena, Danny Aiello, Jason Alexander, Ving Rhames.

A real mind freak of amovie where Vietnam vet and current postman Robbins starts seeing what may or not be frightening fantasy creatures as well as his deceased son.

Makes you wonder what's real, what's not.

Sometimes frightening, this film is a wild ride.

Birdy

Matthew Modine and Nicolas Cage star in this 1984 drama from Alan Parker.

Story of two Vietnam vets who both return home damaged...one physically, the other mentally. Always fascinated by birds, one friend thinks he is a bird himself. Touching story of how they can help each other overcome their afflictions.

Interesting drama is eventually uplifting. Good cast, intriguing story.
