“The Deer Hunter” is probably the most devastating movie I’ve ever seen. That’s the one movie that I saw that made me not sleep. That last Russian Roulette scene was brutal; the funeral scene was just sad.
Another one was Jon Voight over Robert De Niro back in 1978. Personalities and political leanings aside, De Niro should have won Best Actor that year. Of course he won in 1980 for “Raging Bull”, which was well deserved.
