I just watched Apocalypse Now on DVD, and, even though I like it, I still can't say it's one of the greatest movies of all time.

That said, I've asked several 20-somethings if they know of Coppola's work, and, while they know of the Godfather, they have never heard of Apocalypse Now. This just jibes with what George Clooney said at the Oscars, at how the ceremony (and, by extension, Hollywood) was becoming irrelevant to the younger generation.

I've also done a bit of informal polling, and the younger generation do say they don't go to movies that much anymore - they watch them at home. This has serious implications for the industry, especially with the ongoing revolution wrought by the internet.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
