  • One of the best films of the '70s, which says a lot because the '70s were a behemoth decade for film. The cinematography is spectacular and the cast is filled with a slew of incredible actors. Apocalypse Now is less a movie about war and more so about how war affects people, so it offers an intriguing psychological perspective to the war movie genre.

  • A trippy, twisted exploration of human moral decay that explores how circumstance can warp and dissolve many of the things we thought defined us. As good as you've heard, although you don't need the extended version in your life.

  • Brando so distracted Coppola and the cast and crew that nothing was redeemed, no morals validated, just the grimmest of cartoons!
