Must've seen Full Metal Jacket and Apocalypse Now thirty times.

Made the mistake of getting the DVD of Apocalypse Now Redux. Awful.

Any of Clint's Spaghetti Westerns or Unforgiven, Dirty Harry. - which is edited.

Out of interest what is it you don’t like about the Redux version? It’s the version I have on DVD and I’ve watched it so often I can’t remember how it differs from the original

The Chateau scene, the nicking of Kilgore's surfboard - undermines the whole film, it switches from a descent into hell into a jolly jape - crap.

Coppola doesn't know when to just leave it - see The Godfather III.

Dogshit.

OK. I’d need to watch the original again as I genuinely don’t remember the difference. Agree re Godfather III btw so you’re probably right

Apart from the Gene Wilder film - any blokes who've watched them are closet gays, and Top Gun too, if you've watched that get down the village in chaps.
