The 'Russian Roulette' scene played by Christopher Walkien in 'The Deer Hunter'.
It both visually and viscerally encapsulates the true madness and horror of war.
Although the movie is superb, I've watched it only once, and I will never be able to watch it again.
It's too close and brings me back to places that I never want to go to again........

Myrtle, I was reading through the thread and a Deer Hunter lecture was building up until you saved everyone from it. The entire film made me feel like that.

Wow, this was a good call. The Deer Hunter was a truly amazing film, probably the best Vietnam-era out of a seriously good group (Apocalypse Now, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket). Just think how many great films would never have been made had Vietnam never happened...
