One of the best!

Rating: 10/10 (5 May 2001)

"The Deer Hunter" is one of the best American films ever, and perhaps the best war film of all time. It is an engrossing film that takes you into the depths of the tragedies of war (eg what happens to DeNiro and Walken when they are taken as POWs) and their effects and consequences. It has me from beginning to end, and my heart races non-stop during the sequences where they are playing Russian roulette.
