What about Full Metal Jacket?

My enthusiasm for that scene turns off some.

in fact there's a short documentary on just this scene:

Those are great videos. I loved that Hearts of Darkness documentary but these have great detail. Like who knew the Spook was actually the First Assistant Director?

I think I like Platoon slightly over Apocalypse Now.

Couple other good war movies - "Come and See" and "The Human Condition", the latter Kubrick lifted the bootcamp scene for Full Metal Jacket.

A couple of classics from Redux:

French plantation dinner scene

Opium scene

I only learned today, quite by chance, that Laurence Fishburne was in Apocalypse Now and was only 14 years old at the time.

That's a fantastic movie, I have it on a drive somewhere but it's a bit hard to re-watch, seriously grim.

I heard an interview with him about being young and watching rich adults freak out. Dennis Hopper was high all the time, etc.

Die Brücke is also quite good.
