Sorry if it was already discussed here, anyway....
Here is my list:
my fav is Apocalypse Now (I recently watched the long version, AN redux.....it is one of my fav movies ever....a real masterpiece! I wonder why FFC doesn't make as good movies anymore )
then there are:
The Deer Hunter Full Metal Jacket Saving Private Ryan The Thin Red Line From Here to Eternity
I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
