The Deer Hunter (1998, DVD)

THE DEER HUNTER: THIS IS A GREAT CLASSIC MOVIE, VERY WELL WRITTEN AND IT HAS A WONDERFUL CAST OF YOUNG ACTORS/ACTRESSES. I LOVED IT THE FIRT TIME I SAW IT IN THE THEATER WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT. THERE'S REALLY NOTHING TO DISLIKE ABOUT THIS MOVIE. IT WAS VERY WELL DONE IN EVERY ASPECT, AND MANY OF THE FRIENDS I GREW UP WITH WERE VIETNAM VETERANS AND THEY SAID IT WAS FACTUAL AND REALISTIC. I PURCHASED THIS MOVIE WHEN I SAW IT WAS FOR SALE, BECAUSE IT IS A CLASSIC AND I HAVEN'T SEEN IT IN YEARS, AND WANTED TO SEE IT AGAIN. THANK YOU !

I have been trying to find this movie in stores for quite a while now, as always I can always find it on EBAY much cheaper, the movie is an exceptional tale that centers on Christopher Walken and Robert De Niro, that alone should be the reason to watch it, but it is a great and compelling movie, 3 hours long is nothing when watching a great movie. I highly recommend this.

I decided to buy the movie as part of the places it was made I had been there and could relate to the area and see how it had changed since I was there.Could not rate the movie as excellent because some of the scenes were just too far off from what could have happened at certain times and places.

This is the classic coming of age in the Vietnam war era. What these guys went through during and after the war was terrible.Great cast. Robert Deniro was the best in this role. It had been many, many years since I saw it. But I just had to have it for my collection. Highly recommend.

One of the greats a classic i had to own it, it is one of those movies you can watch over and over, turn it on and enjoy it over and over

Good movie with lots of big name stars, also one of the best war movies of all time. The movie is very long so make sure you have time to sit down and watch it all. I would rate this movie in my top 10 of all times, and my second favorite war movie, second only to Full Metal Jacket.

There is just something about this movie that I just love. I'm 28 years old and my dad who is a Marine first watched it with me. There is soooo much going on in this film it is incredible. My 20 year old sister and I use to watch it when it would come out on TV and just have a ball. You laugh and you cry. Everyone has a right to their own opinion. I'm just glad I own this movie!

This famous Vietnam era movie is strongest in showing the friendship between a group of steel workers before they go off to war and after they return. The actual Vietnam part is completely forgettable and unrealistic-but the characters and their love for one another is the strength of this movie. Recommended as a war era drama, not for its' depiction of soldiers in 'Nam.

I bought this DVD for my Husband who watched this movie on tv. He had been searching in stores for this movie, so when I found it on ebay. I had to buy it.

I have always loved this movie. I do have this movie in VHS but I always wanted it in DVD. I had been looking for this movie at several different stores but I could never find it. One day I was checking on Ebay and I found that someone was selling it so I bid on it and I won. The DVD was brand new and it was sealed. The price was good as well. One day I did see this movie at a store and I noticed that the price was alot higher than what I had paid. I am happy that I bought this product.

my son is in the united states army.this dvd is not a 1998 movie but rather a 1978 academy award winner.anyway he was glad that i purchased the dvd and sent it to him.a total of approx 200 troops enjoyed the movie on movie night at the mess hall.i suggest you get your facts right before you email me with a question thats over 20 years off in timeline.every body makes mistakes although this one was silly. kenneth c. rogers

After hearing so much about how awesome this movie was I saw it for myself. This boring experience was worse than doing arts and crafts with my grandmother, or indulging in underwater basket weaving courses. Nothing made sense and it was drawn out way too far, yes I understand the emotional value between Walken and Deniro, but there were too many worthless insignificant events leading up to that for me to really even care, and what in the hell is the deal with all of the russian roulette, makes no sense at all. Don't waste your time, and don't buy this one.
