Apocalypse Now (1979)

A helicopter attack set to Wagner. A river journey that grows stranger with every mile. And a mission that slowly becomes a nightmare. Apocalypse Now takes viewers into the madness of war and refuses to give them an easy way out. Martin Sheen's Captain Willard and Marlon Brando's Colonel Kurtz anchor a story filled with haunting images and moments that demand your attention. But does its intensity make it a better movie than The Godfather, or does Rocky win by delivering a more satisfying emotional payoff? Some fans want a movie that entertains them. Others want one that leaves them thinking long after the credits. If you're in the second camp, Apocalypse Now might be your champion. Vote and defend it.
