Logline: Fearing that Colonel Walter Kurtz (Marlon Brando) and his unit have gone rogue and are killing random NVA and Viet Cong members in neighboring Cambodia, Captain Willard and team are secretly commissioned to find and execute the renegade Colonel.
Memorable Moments: In somewhat of a turning point, Captain Willard witnesses stake-mounted human heads near Colonel Kurtz’s camp, basically removing all doubt of his insanity.
Why People Love It: Similar to the seedy and no-holds-barred Full Metal Jacket flick, Apocalypse Now is one haunting, visceral film about one of the most controversial wars ever, The Vietnam War.
Best Quote: Capt. Benjamin L. Willard (Martin Sheen): “Someday this war’s gonna end”. That’d be just fine with the boys on the boat. They weren’t looking for anything more than a way home. Trouble is, I’d been back there, and I knew that it just didn’t exist anymore.”
