The hypnotic power of Apocalypse Now. It lingers, intense, bright and bold. Striking in its every detail. Its every movement signaling another step deeper in to the heart of darkness. Perhaps the film is confused in its last act at moments, perhaps, but in this confusion it only furthers its maddening hum. The beat of the chopper blades circling around the room. The drug addled strumming of The Doors. It is beautiful, and horrific, and hair raising, and captivating.

Has there ever been a more gripping encounter between two actors than that between Martin Sheen and Marlon Brando in the continuously compelling Apocalypse Now Redux? This might be (The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II considered) Coppola's best movie.

A war masterpiece. Precisely-directed photography. A must-see, a true classic.

Best War movie

Probably my fav war movie, Colonel Kurtz's whole soliloquy is awesome

I've never been in a war, but the scene where they first meet Col. Kilgore is one of the few moments in cinema that creates a feeling of insanity that I expect one would feel in war. Memorable scene after memorable scene, with brilliant performances to pull you in. A meditative descent into insanity, punctuated by violence and death, that all comes down to the final confrontation between Willard and Kurtz.
