1. The Deer Hunter

has a couple of scenes that are really hard to watch, but 90% of the movie is about the effect of war upon people, communities and sanity. On balance, it is the least graphic of them all. To really appreciate it, however, you need to know a little something about Pennsylvania/Pittsburgh in the early 1970s.

The rest are real shoot-outs...although the first half of Full Metal Jacket stands as some of the best scenes ever filmed.

My name is Gunnery Seargent Hartman...
