I should do a double shot of BttF and Apocalypse Now for this thread. It would be episode. Even more epic? If I somehow found thematic links between the two and made it one giant essay.

Not because we fully agree that BttF is your favorite, but I think we know your reasons for that.

Not because we fully agree that BttF is your favorite, but I think we know your reasons for that. My reasons have never been put together in a long articulated fashion. Also, I love both films, but they are so much the opposites of each other that I do feel the need to present them equally.

Are you a Redux fan?

The Redux is what I watched first because it was what I had on hand. It blew me away completely. I have since watched it many times and I cannot imagine any piece being cut out and the film still having the same effect on me.

I saw the theatrical cut first and its the one I love the most. I really like the redux except the French village scene always kind of bothers me. I dont quite get what it is getting at.

Yea, I quit watching at that exact point. It was just so indulgent and excessively unnecessary.
