One time there was a heat wave in my city, and I don’t have air conditioning at home. The movie theater was playing apocalypse now, I think it was the directors cut. It was 3 hours long so I bought a ticket because I wanted 3 hours of air conditioning. I had no idea what a great movie I was stumbling into! It was about war and how horrific it is.

Going in neutral without expectations is the best way to enjoy a movie in my opinion, there’s a indie theatre near my home that mostly plays older classics from US and around the world. I’ve had my mind blown by movies that came out decades ago, good movies age very well

That’s an interesting way to discover that film. You must have gone on one hell of a ride that afternoon.

We just got it on DVD. It’s the “Redux” edition. 3 hours 22 mins. It’s the 6th longest movie in our collection behind LoTR extendeds, Beh-Hur, and Lawrence of Arabia.

  I had the redux years ago. I’ve come around to the theatrical being the best though.
