Was Casualties of War the one with Sean Penn and Michael J. Fox?
Yes. Got overshadowed by Platoon but very good in its own right.
There's a story I like from this movie. There was a specific scene where Sean Penn and Michael J Fox were shooting and couldn't get exactly the right emotional reaction out of Fox.
So to get the mixture of disbelief and anger he wanted Penn called Fox a television actor.

Travolta doesn’t get enough credit for his versatility…

DePalma would oscillate between taking on gun-for-hire projects and then his more creepy obsessive personal projects. There's a very good documentary about him directed by Noah Baumbach. He's not as highly regarded as the 70's auteurs today, but he was definitely an artistic and social peer in that time. The documentary is basically a very long interview with him, and he's very entertaining.

Thanks, will look for this. Love so many of his films. The Fury, Sisters, Obsession, and Phantom Of The Paradise, while not his “major” movies, scared the hell out of this teenager in the 70’s. They were stylistically creepy movies.
