And if you haven't seen both, please tell me they're in your DVD queue.

...and I understand that for many both are Coppola's other masterpiece, but this is a Death Match, so you have to choose which one you feel is more worthy.

I haven't seen both, so that's how I voted, but I really can't imagine any movie ever being better than Apocalypse Now

For years and years and years I thought Apocalypse Now was Coppola's best movie. Granted, it's still a movie I drool over, but I was surprised at how good The Conversation was.

-James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.

Apocalypse Now both the original and Redux version are my favorite films of his.

The Conversation is another film I love and definitely influential.
