Top 5 War Films Of All Time
August 16th, 2009Top 5 War Films Of All Time: Apocalypse Now
Directed by the famous movie director Francis Ford Coppolla and released in 1979 as Apocalypse Now and released once again in 2001 (with additional footage added) as Apocalypse Now Redux. Starring Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall and Harrison Ford this war film certainly enjoys a superb cast of actors that is to die for. Apocalypse Now is not only a fantastic war story with beautiful scenic splendor, but is also considered by many to represent the darker side of humanity. Like the great war film Platoon, Apocalypse Now takes place during the Vietnam War. The story follows Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) as he is sent on a secret mission into war torn Cambodia to assassinate an American Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando) who has apparently gone bad. Robert Duvall who portrays the gung-ho Lt. Colonel Kilgore say’s one of the great lines in Hollywood history, “I love the smell of Napalm in the morning!” Apocalypse Now’s magnificent and unique storyline and it’s group of finely crafted characters places it second on our list of the top 5 war films of all time.
