Apocalypse Now (1979)

Language: English.

Directed by Francis Ford Coppola

The Doors' soundtrack, the helicopters, the Ride of the Valkyries, (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction while surfing the boat's wake. There are too many iconic moments to count. The opening scene of Willard doing something akin to Tai Chi with The End in front of the mirror. What a start. Brando's brief appearance as the Colonel is perfect. — Bill
