    I didn't realize Alien is that old. That's crazy.

    Apocalypse Now
    I saw Apocalypse Now in a jammed theater, with some friends, all 18-19 years old. I had recently registered for selective service (re-started just as I turned 18), and the hostages were in Iran...Dolby Sound (you could feel the chopper scenes in your gut)...I don't do horror films, with all things considered, THAT was a horror movie for me. It made me realize that there were a lot of fucked up people walking around that had been there. I used to ask guys that I knew had been in Nam how realistic it was...some said much better, not as bad...others didn't answer, but you could see it in their eyes. I still watch it, and it still holds up, IMO

    Apocalypse Now
    Forgot to add, it was the first time for me that, as the lights came up at the end, there was silence as everyone walked out. The second time was Schindler's List...

    Tough year. Could have gone AN, The Jerk or Mad Max. Movies were so much better back then.

    Apocalypse Now
    I watched Apocalypse Now when it was relatively new. Was too young and didn't pay attention and thought it was just weird.

    Then in a HS English class I had to slog through Heart of Darkness (same story for those unfamiliar). I still didn't get it, so I watched the movie again hoping it would help me pass the test. This time around the movie was awesome. Now I'll watch it every couple of years.

    The Jerk was a strong consideration.

    ApocNow Director's Cut is much better

    Hearts of Darkness is a really good docu film. We all congratulated George Zaloom when he came on set for Encino Man with some award he'd won for it

    I think I've seen that. Brando was practically living his character from what I remember. He was overweight and barely functional...barely able to stand and speak.
