FMJ. Simply can't go against Kubrick.

As much as I admire the audacity of any movie that opens with an hour long wedding scene, I have to give it to R Lee Erm... *ahem* Full Metal Jacket.

The Deer Hunter for me quite easily. I love Stanley Kubrick, but it's not a favourite Kubrick of mine.

Yup. The winner of one poll against the winner of the other.

The Deer Hunter is an excellent movie and while I appreciate where it's story was coming from I had to give my vote to FMJ.

I second that
That beautiful and moving guitar piece framing the complete ruin war brings to the lives of three idealistic small town young men; the love story, the actors, the town, the mountain, the late seventies making, the late sixties ambientation, and the brutality of the russian roulette symbolizing the ultimate torture and nonsense of the war.

nice poll....great movies even if completely different..
the wedding sequence of Dear Hunter is one of my alltime cinematic favorites... oh omg... was Meryl a f**king bombshell in her youth whoo hooo..
personally I like more serious themes of the effect of war on one's youth and innocence tackled in Deer Hunter than the overblown machoism of the insanity of war tackled Full Metal Jacket. Both very pertinent I can certainly assure of that... but for Deer Hunter gets the vote. De Niro, Walken, Steep... A+ supporting cast.. all on top of their games...can't touch that man
