    Jayzus, You'd better steer clear of music album titles OP. Your brain could well melt if you see some of those things.

    "Apocalypse Now" should have been titled "Some Lad is sent down a river by the CIA to kill some other lad who has gone absolutely beserk but beserk lad may have some kind of primordial logic to his beserkdness due to the beserk ultra-violent world view he was indoctrinated into"

    Think that's what the directors cut was called.

    Not just at first glance...
    - Quantum of Solace
    - Reservoir Dogs
    - The Phantom Menace

    Only makes sense cos I read the book
    - A Clockwork Orange

    Dirty Harry. Clint Eastwood looks fairly washed and clean to me in it.

    Vanilla Sky.

    Not only did the title make no sense, the film didn't make much sense either.
