Description:
When the U.S. Army engages irreverent, nonconformist radio deejay Adrian Cronauer, it unleashes a secret, if unpredictable, weapon: laughter. Academy Award(R) winner Robin Williams (Best Supporting Actor, GOOD WILL HUNTING, 1997) shakes up 1965 Saigon in the role that garnered him his very first Oscar(R) nomination. Imported by the military to host an early a.m. radio show, Cronauer (Williams) blasts the formerly serene, sanitized airwaves with a constant barrage of rapid-fire humor and the hottest hits from back home. The G.I.s love him, but the top brass is up in arms. Riddled with sidesplitting comic salvos, bittersweet bombshells, and hot '60s rock 'n' roll, this landmark film chronicles one man's raucous Saigon adventures amidst a world gone mad. Featuring all-new bonus material that includes hilarious outtakes from Robin Williams' 'raw' monologues, this Special Edition of GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM, scores a direct hit every time you watch.
Amazon.com essential video:
Barry Levinson (Wag the Dog) directed this comedy-drama about an Armed Forces Radio disc jockey (Robin Williams) whose manic, hilarious delivery from a studio in 1965 Saigon gives U.S. troops in the field a morale boost (while upsetting military brass). Based on the real-life experiences of deejay Adrian Cronauer, the film is actually more concept than story: put Williams in front of a microphone and let him go nuts. Still, the surrounding stuff about the influence upon Cronauer of the endless deaths among his listeners--as Cronauer tries to stay funny while feeling the mounting losses--is affecting. Williams got a much-deserved Oscar nomination for his work. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - HAHAHAHAHA!!
I love this movie. Absolutly fantastic. The only thing I didn't like was the child Vietnamese Bomber. Thanks Mr. Williams!
Rating:  - Good morning indeed...
When `Good Morning Vietnam' allows itself to be nothing more than entertainment it passes with flying colors. It's the type of movie that really doesn't need too much of a plot. When the film tries to add some substance to its running time is when it starts to fray at the edges.
`Good Morning Vietnam' tells the somewhat true story (as in the film is not entirely faithful to actual events) of Adrian Cronauer, a radio DJ who spiced things up during the Vietnam War. During his stationing ... Read More
Rating: - Actor Tung Thanh Tran
Actor Tung Thanh Tran, now known as Tom Tran, became an engineer in the Chicago area, married, and has three beautiful girls. I am waiting for the day he returns to the silver screen. He has a unique and special talent as a dramatic actor.
Rating: - Robin Williams in one of his best!
What a great movie! I've had this movie on VHS for years and was so very glad to find it on DVD. It truly is one of Robin Williams best movie roles. The movie is funny, tender, and touching. This movie also was my introduction to Forest Whitaker as an actor. How could you go wrong here..Robin Williams and Forest Whitaker in Good Morning Vietnam.
Rating: - Great movie classic
I have probably watched this movie more than 20 times, and still laugh as though it was the first time watchin it. A story about a disc jocky in VietNam doing his best to entertain soldiers throughout while walking a fine line of what is authorized by his command.
