MUMBAI: The London Critics‘ Circle (LFCC) has voted Francis Ford Coppola‘s Apocalypse Now as the best film in the last 30 years.

The film, that has won a slew of awards and nominations since its release in 1979, was chosen as the clear favourite in the poll.

Apocalypse Now ranked way ahead of Schindler‘s List, The Lives of Others, Unforgiven and Brokeback Mountain.

LFCC chairman Jason Solomons praised the Coppola‘s film as a "worthy winner," going by its anti-war message that is relevant even today as it was 30 years ago.

The 30th annual London Film Critics‘ Circle Awards will take place on 18 February and benefit the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC).
