Apocalypse Now (1979)

“I love the smell of napalm in the morning… Smells like victory”

Carrying on the trend of morbidly fascinating war clips, here is the infamous helicopter attack scene from Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now.

Not being a war vet, I wouldn’t know how realistic this all really is, but I would imagine it’s pretty close to the mark. Wagner’s ride of the valkyrie’s putting a bizarre bravado twist to it all, but actually the American army did blast out various tunes like that just to confuse and intimidate the people they were attacking.
