Oh man, the sh*t piled up so fast in Vietnam you needed wings to stay above it.

Rating: 10/10 (15 February 2009)

This film deserved every single award it got, and deserved some that it didn't get. The winners for Best Picture and Best Director and best supporting Actor paled in comparison to this film and Driector Francis Ford Coppola, and Robert Duvall's portrayal as Lt Col Kilgore.
Duvall's performance was just one of some really great performances in this film. Martin Sheen held it all together; a young Laurence Fishburne, Albert Hall, Aurore Clément in her prime, Dennis Hopper, so many more that it is hard to mention them. Naturally, we have to mention the absolutely brilliant performance of Marlon Brando.
The music and cinematography were first rate, worthy of the many accolades they received. "The Ride of the Valkyries" will forever be associated with this film.
The stunt work was also superb.
Every aspect of this film stands out as a classic right up there with Gone With the Wind.
