I agree, gotta go with FMJ. Yeah, Kubrick loved to film in England. I know a large portion of The Shining was filmed there.

The Deer Hunter (1978)

Great movie but not without flaws. Those guys were too old for their roles but when you can get DeNiro and Walken you go with it. Michael Cimino was a great director who had the misfortune of directing the biggest flop in cinema history.

What would you consider its flaws?  Besides the age of De Niro and Walken I mean.

Maybe nitpicking a bit but I thought the wedding scene was too long. Cimino was known to be a little self indulgent with those type of scenes. But it really is a beautifully shot movie.

Do you not need the wedding scene though, it kinda sets the scene of them and their lives and their getting proper pissed and their little Russian community and then the thing with the ‘fuck it’ Green Beret guy.  You’d lose some of the gravity of the situations later on if their relationships weren’t as well developed as they are.  Thats my take anyway.  Love the film, I think its close to flawless, which is why I was curious as to what you felt its flaws were.  I really love it.

Oh, I love it too, don't get me wrong. You definitely need the wedding scene, I just thought it was a bit long. I think it clocked in at around 45 minutes.  But like I said, I'm just nitpicking.😄 An interesting thing, the dude who played Axel wasn't actually an actor. DeNiro met him when they were scouting locations and he and Cimino liked him so much they put him in the film. It was the only thing he ever did as an actor.

The Hitch-Hiker (1953)

That movies really cool, its based on Billy Cook, the crazy American hitch hiker motherfucker would went around fuckin' all those people up back in the day.  I believe Jim Morrisons hitch-hiker, 'killer on the road' obssession is based on ol' Billy Boy.  Good film though, Ida Lupino right?

On topic:

Hamburger Hill (1987)

101st Airborne, 1969.  Jimi Hendrixes division.  So if he'd've stayed on in the army, being as how he enlisted in 62 this might've been where he ended up, am I right?  And we would've not had some of the greatest music of the 20th Century.
