You haven't seen these films?

Nope. No interest in "Jaws," only interested in "Lyndon" to complete my Kubrick someday (I know you're a fan). Came very close to seeing "The Deer Hunter" since my parents had a VHS copy, but never got around to watching it.

I've seen them all except the Monty Python movies: not a fan.

That's refreshing. I was never a huge Monty Python fan myself.

JAWS is wonderful.  Better than the book by far.  You really should check it out and can no longer get credit for being 1 of the 7 or 800 people who haven't seen it.

BARRY LYNDON... Motionless with lots of "action".  Mesmerizing and motionless.    

THE DEER HUNTER is a mixed bag.  Shortest soundtrack album of all time, I liked the music well enough to own it.   The movie has also got that "motionless" quality with long sequences.  I think it's very good, overrated in its time, and ... meaningless.

I'm with our Rev on this one: I found The Deer Hunter to be a bit pretentious and except for the Russian Roulette scenes, a bit boring.
