If you go to a Kodak factory, I'm sure they'll have a lot more film than that. Blank film is as much film as paper is photography.

The Deer Hunter and Apocalypse Now both really shook me.
Not that I'm a big war film buff but those two movies really got to me. Scared the crap out of me and really made me think of how horrible things can get.
So from the effect they had on me they remain the most memorable
And Apocalypse Now is just a convoluded mess and a poor adaptation of the Joseph Heller novel, but contains great performances from several actors.
'Platoon'. Now there is a great war film that captures the real insanity of Vietnam.

And let's not forget the absolutely mindblowing beginning. A paradisiacal beach, you hear the beggining of the Doors' music and just when Jim Morrison starts singing "This is the end" the beach blows up in napalm.
That's cinema, right there.
