Which means it will start sometime in the early morning on October 2nd for Europeans. 👀 Does this mean the deadline to submit lists is also extended? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dxmatrixdt Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) watch 5.5 hours of Apocalypse Now (1979) and think about Star Wars at the top of this list, and think about movies in the 1970s and how star wars brought up Star Wars. that would probably take 200 movies, I couldn't get to 50 by due date Edited September 24, 2019 by belligerent talking robot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxmatrixdt Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) first viewing of Apocalypse Now, I will try to bury Apocalypse Now as much as possible on the list because of Charlie Sheen's influence and pushing a good attitude with Two and a Half Men. Francis Ford who? Vietnam should have a new class. They are just bolted right into history. film history of the 1970s was saying America was weak, someone was scared.
