The Boys in Company C (1977)
Director: Sidney J Furie
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Gruelling yet humorous look at a bunch of Marines through training and posting to Vietnam in 1968, this turns every war film cliché upside down: transistor radios grind out rock music over the life-and-death patrols, and the GIs behave less like soldiers than shambling tourists.Author: DP
