    Misread it, I thought it was going to be a thread about your quest to buy beer in Asda.

    I still remember the first time I saw it in 1980s,it was unusual in that it portrayed americans negatively. There then followed a few Vietnam War movies,which were also negative in their narrative.

    I've seen it before but taped it last night because you're right that it is a fantastic film.

    It's a great film that I never want to watch again.

    My view exactly. Watched it out on the big screen at a film club very early 80’s. Great film great soundtrack. The Russian Roulette scene is iconic. But I don’t think I will ever watch it again.

    Me too. Haven't seen it for maybe 20 years now, when I made that decision. Add to that list Taxi Driver, which is an even better film that I won't watch again.

    There are some films you can watch over and over like the original Star Wars trilogy and Indianna Jones. Disney cartoon Robin Hood, Bedknobs n' Broomsticks, Sword in the Stone and Jungle book.

    Then there's vietnam films. I think they fall down because they make out that horrors were only felt and inflicted in that conflict.

    I don't know if it's an American thing.

    Apocalypse Now is an equally amazing film about Vietnam.

    Absolute classic
