Apocalypse Now (1979) - Francis Ford Coppola

Guess who turned up to this film? Only Walter friggin' Murch! The editor and sound engineer on this film was in full attendance. (He also gave a talk on editing later on in the festival - more on this later.)
The film itself, as most already know, is brilliant. The only reason I didn't give this the hallowed five star masterpiece rating was because of the ridiculously slow paced ending with Marlon Brando, a fantastic actor, sadly ruining what was otherwise a brilliant movie.
That shot of Martin Sheen rising from the water is gorgeous, especially when watched on the big screen. More classics should be re-released purely for this reason.
