Francis Ford Coppola’s Vietnam war film “Apocalypse Now” topped a poll marking 30 years of the London Film Critics’ Circle Awards, where it won best film in 1980, the Daily Telegraph reports.

The critics did not think there has been a better film since and placed it ahead of Steven Spielberg’s Holocaust epic “Schindler’s List” and the critics’ circle’s 2007 foreign-language winner “The Lives Of Others” (“Das leben der anderen”).

Starring Marlon Brando and Martin Sheen, Coppola’s work is an adaptation of Joseph Conrad’s 19th Century colonial novella Heart Of Darkness.

1. Apocalypse Now (Francis Ford Coppola, 1980)
