The Deer Hunter (1978)

Few films from this project have had an affect on me. Either the content is just too off-putting to be disturbed by, or I know so far in advance of the big amazing plot point, that its not a surprise, its just a matter of waiting.

However, being initially bored by this film to incredible degrees, I managed to get over that initial first hump of the dance scene (get past there and you're home free) and from then on, the film just keeps on coming.

By the end, I ended up crying - for real - and that's no easy feat.
