    'Apocalypse Now' voted greatest film of the last 25 years

    Andrew, great comment. But, last I heard, Winona again will not be able to committ to Coppola's new project because of, ahem, personal reasons. ;) I think that all of Kubrick's films exist in a type of hyper-reality, a slightly dystopian view that is not quite real, but in a surreal way feels...

    'Apocalypse Now' voted greatest film of the last 25 years

    Steve, correct me if I am wrong, but wasnt the original theatrical version the one with the voice over? I thought that the theatrical release had the v.o. and happy ending added on because of the intitial screening responses. If I remember correctly, there were a few really bad pre-release...

    'Apocalypse Now' voted greatest film of the last 25 years

    Godfather part I and II were made before 1977, the 25 year cutoff date, so they did not count in the Sight and Sound poll. I have read many polls where it was unanimous that Citizen Kane is the best of the first 1/2 of the 20th century, while Godfather is the best of the second half. As for...
