#14: Apocalypse Now (1979)

Francis Ford Coppola is a master of style. There are certain directors that just have an approach to cinema that is all their own. This movie is a wild ride.  There are so many famous faces before they were to become even more famous.  Harrison Ford and Laurence Fishburne both have bit parts.  The opening montage with the helicopters flying, the bushes burning, and Martin Sheen lying in bed in psychosis while The Doors This Is the End plays is absolutely amazing. Of course the classic scenes with Robert Duvall and Marlon Brando are cinematic art in and of themselves. I can't say it's my favorite Coppola film (nothing will ever beat The Godfather), but it's a masterpiece.
