Trailer
Why watch this film?
Considered by none other than Quentin Tarantino as the best movie about the Vietnam War. One of the merits of the feature is knowing how to combine action scenes with an ethical debate, along with great performances by Michael J. Fox and Sean Penn.

From the same director
The Untouchables
A true work of cinematic art, with great direction by Brian De Palma and a star-studded cast. The pace and action scenes are incredible, but the highlight really goes to Sean Connery's Oscar-winning performance and Ennio Morricone's Grammy-winning score.
Body Double
One of the less talked about movies from director Brian De Palma, but that has an intriguing suspense vibe, in a Hitchcock-style feature filled with lots of sex.
Carlito's Way
One of great movies from director Brian De Palma, with amazing sequences. The performances of Al Pacino and Sean Penn are unforgettable, not to mention the story has a human look at the tale of a former mobster who now wants to lead a righteous life.
Carrie
A terrifying vision of bullying, adolescence, and supernatural powers, which is one of its main merits for the perfect combination of horror and suspense. Not to mention that the graduation scene is one of the most classic scenes in movie history. Don't watch the recent remake, but see the original work of art - even though it may seem a bit dated to the younger eyes.
Dressed to Kill
‘Dressed to Kill’ is an excellently directed erotic thriller by Brian De Palma (director of ‘Scarface’) in an obvious homage to one of the most influential filmmakers in his style: Alfred Hitchcock. You may feel a bit dated by today's standards, but the script is solid and the performances from legends like Michael Caine and Nancy Allen are masterful.
Scarface
Despite being based on a 1932 movie also called 'Scarface' and inspired by the life of Al Capone, director and screenwriter Brian De Palma presents an almost entirely new, brutal and bloody story. Al Pacino is amazing in the role of Cuban drug dealer Tony Montana. Recommended for those who want a sadistic and ultra-violent movie.
Mission: Impossible
The beginning of one of the most famous spy franchises in cinema, right behind the stories of James Bond, 'Mission: Impossible' is a movie with a 1990s feel and already showing some signs of what would come in future productions. Here, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise, in a role that became a milestone in his career) embarks on a secret mission that goes wrong and the protagonist, all of a sudden, becomes the main suspect in the murder of his spy partner. Director Brian de Palma ('Scarface', 'Carrie: The Strange') sets the tone with interesting visual jokes, with an 80s look and 90s spirit, despite some stumbles in the more emotional scenes - there's a lack of adrenaline in certain moments. But Tom Cruise's precise acting and iconic scenes in cinema history, such as the famous sequence of Ethan Hunt descending from the ceiling in a maximum security room, make up for the mistakes and outdated moments of the movie. To have fun and, mainly, to kick off the franchise marathon.
