Hi,
The Blues brothers movie, the first Muppet movie, and AN all came out at about the same time. I adored the BB, I loved the MM enough to buy the soundtrack LP,and Apocalypse Now was literally stunning. I wonder if you had seen it when it was fresh, if it wouldn't have made more of an impression. Seeing it in a theater,larger than life, also makes a big difference in a movie that is trying to convey an experience. While i have seen many attempts to analyse this film; I take most with a grain of salt. This is a big film, as the years have gone by, my sense of what the film is about has deepened. Btw, the Heart of Darkness bit has gotten way too much ink. You could aslo see the dinner as a Mad Tea Party, but the clever bit is that the viewer gets to be Alice.
But I digress. It's a family trait,I'm afraid. I doubt any of those films will be watched by future generations. Doesn't matter a bit to me. Life is topical. While there are great movies, and great lit-rah-chah, this boy just wants to have fun. So I have BB on dvd, I must have seen that film a hundred times. I still like to watch the first MM from time to time (the later ones are nowhere near as good), and I still approach AN with a caution borne from it's ability to awaken terrible ghosts.
