For years now every time I gave a passing thought to watching this film a vague feeling of unease would come over me. Every single time! Last night I finally gave in to curiosity and spent three, nonsensical and irredeemable hours in surrender to discover just why this film rates such esteem - not to mention 5 Oscars.

I still don't know the answer... I do know that my not-so-vaunte... read more

This film is about four hours long and I'm pretty sure that three and a half hours of that is comprised solely of a wedding scene. There aren't really many battle sequences in The Deer Hunter, which surprised me, considering it is billed as a Vietnam war film.

It is rightly famed for the Russian Roulette scene that occurs about three quarters of the way through, and without doubt t... read more

" An in-depth examination of the way that the Vietnam war affects the lives of people in a small industrial town in the USA. It has some familiar faces in it including Robert De Niro, Meryl Streep, John Cazale, Christopher Walken, and Kurtwood Smith. Meryl Streep is gorgeous in this. It is so interesting seeing all of these actors so young. The acting was pretty good and at some points according to behind the scenes some of it was real emotion. I felt some scenes dragged on a little too long, bu"
