The Ultimate Guy Movie

Rating: 9/10 (4 February 2006)

The Deer Hunter is, and will forever be, the ultimate guy movie. I'm not saying the ladies wouldn't enjoy it. I think The Deer Hunter has some qualities to it (mainly the performance of Meryl Streep) that women would appreciate, however, not on the level that a guy would. And it doesn't matter who you are, male female, if you were not on the edge of your seat clinching the arm rests during the Russian roulette scenes, check your pulse! That was the fastest my heart has ever raced during a movie. The movie has only one flaw; the wedding reception scene went on way too long. The editors could've cut at least five minutes from that scene. Intense and emotional, The Deer Hunter continues to move audiences even after almost 30 years since its release.
