Apocalypse now has been one of the turning points in many people' life. It's an esoteric movie, in a sense that it really learns something, beyond the rational,even beyond the director's will. I could name it a tantric experience or liberation through the Vietnam horror. I would suggest you to read the original Joseph Conrad novel,"Heart of darkness",located in Congo 1910(the screenplay was written remaking it and transposing in Vietnam 1968). Marlon Brando performance is amazing, Dennis Hopper and Martin Sheen's one are too. Locations are stunning, being shot in South-East Asia in a wild jungle (the making of it is a kind of a legend). Politically correct and beautiful.Perfect vintage soundtrack by The Doors and Jimi Hendrix. What would you ask more than that? My vote is 10.
