Apocalypse Now

[Dashing Young DissidentSpectator]

Hey gents,

Is this or is this not one of the best war films ever made? Just the descent into madness theme I f~~~ing love. Other war movies i love are Full Metal Jacket and Platoon. What are you favourite war moveis or scenes from war movies? I’ll post a few of mine:

“Twelve O’Clock High” with Gregory Peck. It was one of the first war movies out of Hollywood that the vets said was accurate as to how things really were…

Iron Maiden wrote a great song about the movie Apocalypse Now, called ‘Edge of Darkness’ that is on their 1995 release / album. Blaze Bayley in his prime on vocals (not Dickinson).

I don’t know how to post links via my phone. The song is on Youtube.

‘The War Lover” with Steve McQueen. McQueen flies a heavy bomber like he rides motorbikes and drives Mustangs…

One of my all time favorites starred a guy I got to see live a few years ago that we recently lost at the age of 90…Don Rickles as Oddball with Carroll O’Conner, Telly Savalas, and of course Clint Eastwood. Kelly’s Heroes. RIP Don! You were one of the greats.

It is a good movie, I prefer platoon though, from that era. My favorite though is black hawk down. Tons of good ones though

No longer can we walk away, we must run. Remove the motive power.

“The Blue Max”. George Peppard actually took flying lessons to make his character as authentic as possible…

Saw this at the Pickwick Drive Inn in Burbank California about four months after it opened I think it was 1977 or 78. Some guy behind us had a huge stereo in the back of his truck I’ll never forget cry of the valkyrie.

Nothing better than napalm in the morning smells like victory

“You smell that? Do you smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn’t find one of ’em, not one stinkin’ dink body. But the smell! You know – that gasoline smell… the whole hill! Smelled like… victory. (Pause) Some day this war is going to end…”

I think it’s one of the greatest scenes and movie lines in cinema history.

This is my favorite:

We need to stop killing each other.

We Were Soldiers was awesome, (except for every scene with his wife, they were rubbish). They take a bunch of guys assembling in the dark for a bus and turn it into one of the best scenes ever filmed.

I loved Stalingrad, Cross of Iron, and I love Saving Private Ryan despite its anachronistic portrayal of Germans. White Tiger had some great moments too though, some strange ones as well.

I thought the message of Platoon was absolute drivel – “rich white boy goes to fight in Vietnam because he doesn’t think it’s right poor black kids have to, smokes pot and shoots his own war criminal sergeant in a fit of righteous indignation”? What a crock of s~~~… beautifully filmed and acted though.

Best war movie though? The War Game. That movie will f~~~ you up, seriously, like the first time you watched Once Were Warriors. A movie that portrays the stupidity of war so brilliantly they banned it because nobody would have believed foreign policy again after watching it.

Oliver Stone prob made it while off his face on coke. Great film tho. Even if the message is weak/whack.

Bunny was a f~~~ing c~~~.
