Just watched the new Blu-ray version. Absolutely stunning piece of cinema.
Fantastic cinematography. Great story and some fantastic cameo's(duvall and hopper).
If you don't like it ,then your obviously female.

I can remember seeing it at the pictures pre multiplex when it was first released and to be honest it made me feel very uneasy and slightly unwell.

No wonder Martin Sheen had an heart attack during the making of it.

If the Tories had won the 1964 general election we would have been involved in the Vietnam War. Thank god 'arry and his white heat of technology won instead.

That scene with "The End" is one of the greatest moments in Movie history IMHO
