I think one of my all time faves has to be Apocalypse Now. They really don’t make them like that any more.

Go to the top of the class. What a fucking film.

Hey for the Apocolypse Now fans, just want to make sure they’re rating the film in the proper context of a re-invention of Joseph Conrad’s classic tale Heart of Darkness.

I loved Apocolypse Now for many years before discovering the relationship with the book. Took it to a whole other level, of those that are great works of art intentionally based on a previous theme (sometimes re-imagined in a compeltely different medium), rather than those that are of an entirely new idea.

That might be an interesting thread – name your favorite work of art (movie, song, book or painting, etc.) that was based on something else?

Apocolypse Now and Heart of Darkness are one of those rare occasions when the film can stand alone on ts own merits.

I did prefer the book but then i often do

the exception to the rule i can think of is Do Androids Dream and Bladerunner, the film far exceeded the idea from which it was taken

Did you know Ridley Scott didn’t even read the book? He said he tried and he couldn’t get into it. He pointedly told Phillip K. Dick right to his face that the book was horribly written. I guess if you’re Ridley Scott you can do that.

Also he said Deckard was a replicant.

In no particular order and an eclectic list;

Way Out West-Laurel and Hardy:laugh_at:

Duck Soup-The ‘one and only’ Marx Brothers.:laugh_at:

Midnight Express (can’t believe I’ve not noticed this on here) and The Shawshank Redemption. (The 2 best prison genre films EVER made IMO).

A Taste Of Honey and Saturday Night Sunday Morning (Kitchen sink dramas).

Cape Fear (The Original one By Far)

Goodfellas

Kill Bill 1 and 2

Kes.

Blue Velvet-David Lynch

Wild at Heart-David Lynch (Nicolas cage and Laura Dern(swoon) )

Drugstore Cowboy-(The absolutely gorgeous Matt Dillon)

Straw Dogs-Dustin Hoffman

Some Like It Hot-Marillyn Monroe and Tony Curtis

Jason and the Argonauts (What’s xmas without it)?

And finally but no means least my favourite movie of all time;

THE EXORCIST.

(Sorry for going on for so long, but these films are the ‘creme de la creme’ to me.

Safe Ravers.
