Monty Python's Life of BrianI didn't realize Alien is that old. That's crazy.

Apocalypse NowI 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 NowForgot 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...

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

Apocalypse NowI 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. -
Robert Duvall's finest hour and he has a lot of fine hours in his career. Best scene of 1979 hands down

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 -
Apocalypse Now
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.BearsWiin said:ApocNow Director's Cut is much better

Apocalypse NowSaw Apocalypse in high school. Had no fucking idea what was going on. At that point Vietnam was kind of a taboo topic while the country healed itself and before the full blown AIDS surfaced. But Kurtz was scary, surfing was cool and the tunes were solid.
It holds up much better in the light of history.

Apocalypse NowMy favorite movie noyds just did a pod talking about Apoc Now. Interesting to hear the discussion of the 3 different versions of the film that have been released.
Grierson and Leitch, apple pod link below or wherever else you get your pods

Apparently there's a documentary about the making of; Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse which I plan on to check out eventually. -

F.O. Row Peter Puffer, you left off...You can't put the poster for Rocky II and not have it on the list
Moonraker ... EASILY the worst Bond movie ever -
Apocalypse Now
Quite probably true. I always had a soft spot (not literally soft) for that chick who played the precocious skater who hits on James though.Tequilla said:You can't put the poster for Rocky II and not have it on the list
Moonraker ... EASILY the worst Bond movie ever
I think I have the correct, shitty, Bond film with Roger Moore. -

Moon raker was a profit play going after the success of Star Wars
The primary love interests in Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only, and A View to a Kill are rough to beyond rough -
I agree with you on Moonraker and A View to a Kill, but I think Melina Havelock is gorgeous and a highly underrated Bond girl. I always thought Carole Bouquet (the actress who played the role) had a very Gal Godot vibe.Tequilla said:

From an acting chops and chemistry standpoint it just fell lacking for me
The whole era of Bond movies are dark days as the franchise had clearly lost its way and without a few inspired performances this era represents the bottom tier of Bond movies for me
I find it really laughable when people try to put any of Craig’s movies in the lower tier ... I don’t think people realize how many trash Bond movies there are in comparison -
Apocalypse Now
I dont think I'd rate a single Brosnan or Moore flick over a single Craig flick. The ones I'll watch are all what I'd call mindless, guilty pleasures. The Craig movies stand on their own without the backing of the franchise. Don't tell the audience that Roger Moore is James Bond and nobody would sit there watching his boring ass.Tequilla said:
