In my mind, both police actions were equally hilarious.

Breaking it down: (1) Overlapping Dialogue vs. Overhamming Brando, (2) Surgeries vs. Water Buffalo Slaughter, (3) Heart Transplant vs. Heart of Darkness, (4) "Suicide is Painless" vs. "Ride of the Valkyries", (5) Robert Duvall vs. Robert Duvall. M*A*S*H wins, even though I've always hated that hand + legs thing on the box.

Are you serious? I've always thought the hand/legs thing oddly provocative. Sexually provocative, I mean.

Well, among other issues, the legs are facing the wrong way. I figure the back of the hand should match the back of the legs. Maybe it had to face that way in order to prevent full frontal nudity from appearing on the cover.

I'm sure the evils of frontal nudity were considered, as in all things, but I think you'll find that the legs are oriented correctly if the "analogy" is to the wrist and the inside of the arm.

Sooo tough... Apocalypse Now wins because it was technically better. MASH was great, but I dunno, I have to give it to Apocalypse here...

It doesn't seem like the obvious choice but I gotta go with M*A*S*H as the better movie.
