Last night I did what DR Jrand74 said he might do, which is watch Apocalypse Now on TCM - or at least start it and fall asleep to it.
Turns out I was in the mood, and though I began to get drowsy during the last segment, I didn't "lose it", and I ended up watching the whole bloody thing for the first time in years.
I wish I'd gone to it at the Cinerama Dome. I was a late comer to seeing it at all, and I can't remember where, but I know I went to a second-rate theeder to see it, probably a couple of years after the fact. I've never actually loved it, but whenever I return to it for one reason or another, my basic appreciation for it has grown. I've owned it on laser, DVD, Blu-ray, and a "deluxe" Blu-ray which I have now. I'm glad I watched last night, and maybe someday I'll figure out what the different versions or cuts of it actually consist of.
