Apocalypse Now is an absolutely brilliant film, I don't know of any war film that has a more arresting battle scene than those helicopters swooping out of the dawn with Wagner booming... |
rambo 2 comes to mind :toothless |

Godfather I & II are both excellent.
I prefer Part II as it focuses on both generations.
Scarface is a classic, Al Pacino's performance is brilliant.
It is has all the things a successful movie needs,
ie. money, wealth, chics, drugs, voilence
Ahhhh yeah that's wat i'm talkin bout!

Saving Private Ryan was pretty average IMHO, 20 minutes of intense (admittedly good) action, and then 2 1/2 hours of American glory doesn't really excite me.
It made me proud to be an American. Until I realised I wasn't.

Spot on mate. De Niro is my fav actor and its very sad to see he has cancer atm. I hope he beats it coz I'm awaiting more good movies from the legendry actor.
Casino and Goodfellas are also great movies, but they are amercian view on cosa nostra. Italian Maifa compared to American-Italian Mafia without its traditions (apart from eating pasta) is very different and thats were Capolla made the movie work. SOmeone said above a movie needs money, wealth, chics, drugs, voilence etc etc. I disagree with that and if Godfather had all those Hollywood bull action scenes it would of never won that many oscars.
I grew up in this part of the world and I see he tells the story like its a true story, and it easily could of been. Its also great to see that viewers get introduced to real Italian culture, family, traditions and customs, and not what Sopranos sells it for (money/gold/chicks/pizza/pasta/mafia). This is my fav movie due to De Niros awesome performance as Vito. |
