This and wedding needed to.happen. I remember thinking why the hell the wedding was almost an hour of the film..by the end i wouldn't have had it any other way
This scene is so eerie. Makes me wonder how many young men across America gathered at the local bars, VFW halls, and other places, playing games, singing, patting each other on the back, joyful with not a care in the world, not knowing what horrors awaited them far from home. A joyful, yet sad, moment, repeated endless times by so many boys.
I can't stop watching Christopher Walken's little dance, and when the chorus of the song sings, it came out so perfect that I even wanted to dance like he did.
Every dude relates to this scene. That group of 3, 4, 5 or as in here, maybe 6 guys who are tight that you got together with for drinks, laughs, pick up games, cottage weekends and so on. From the late teens to mid 20s you shared it all and you can't remember how you were able to afford it. You argued from time to time and someone was always the asshead (guy who started fights when out, etc) but you had incredible times together and have the nicknames or scares to back it up. You still see each other from time to time but its just a tad different. (jobs, family, kids, new location - the responsibilities of life) But that bond that you shared together is deep and its something you truly wish you had again. True Friends. Our similar tune and moment like this. It's early 90's and the four of us leaving a club around 2am feeling no pain, into the one car our friend has and we're hungry so we drive to the one part of town where you know you can get a good bite to eat rather cheap. The radio is on (couldn't afford cassette or CD in in the car) and on comes Jet by Paul McCartney and the Wings. Four voices singing the harmony to this day never sounded or stayed with me better. That's what this scene means to me.
This is one of the best youtube comments I've ever read. This is so true, and if you're a guy of ANY age you know what he's talking about. Those type of friends are like brothers. Thanks man
I always wondered what happened to him De Niro, Goodfellas, Once Upon a time in America, Capone in the untouchables, Taxi Driver, young Vito Corleone. Fast forward present day meet the Parents and bad grandpa. He even scared the hell out of me in Cape Fear.
The entire beginning of the movie paralleled my own life . Smoke stack town . The town I grew up in was polish but a lot like this Russian Orthodox church and wedding. we even had our wedding reception in a American Legion Hall . The old ladies acting the same . Deer hunting with my friends. And my wife said to me, that bar scene with them singing was just exactly like you and your boys . We probably had about 25 guys go to Vietnam from my area in those years and believe it or not we did not lose one guy. They all came home but some had thier share of problems .
I was a teenager in the UK when the Vietnam War was on, and I thought then what a waste of life for these young men, and the lack of support when they survived and got back home. I saw this film when it came out in the late 70s, and the war has not been that long ago. I was so upset, knowing what these guys went through. My father was in the RAF during WW2, and he thought that war was to end all wars. My father was terminally ill at the time of Vietnam, and even though he was here in the UK, I could see my dad`s eyes welling up for these young men.
Celtic Whisper Same here, too scared to watch it again. I was 12 or 13 when I first saw it. It’s been over 30 years since I’ve seen it yet it’s in my top 5 of my favorite movies!
Growing up in a steel town this scene hits home…..especially in the ‘60’s. Steel workers getting off the graveyard shift and right to the bar. All the corner establishments were open back then. Would even cash their paychecks. Different times!
this scene just tells you so much about these characters without having to spell it out. you get the sense that these guys turn up at this bar every day or every weekend. they probably earn very little working in steel, but still choose to place bets over their pool games, as they are just hometown guys, who love where they are and feel no need to be tight.
every time i watch this classic masterpiece i ball my eyes out like a baby because it hits all the feels deniro is majestic, walken is a phenom and streep is unreal @ such a young age she makes me cry in every scene. maybe the greatest cast ever in film history.
do not dish the acting and emotional well god dam film, all the way through . back off . watch it again and again , you will always see something you missed, That's a well done film because it is loaded with action and good actors xxx 😇😇😇😇
Last weekend I was driving from Ohio to NJ and this song came on while I cruised across I80. I relived this whole scene from the Deer Hunter as I shrieked along with the song. Epic movie with an Epic song.
This is such an awesome guy movie moment. Only a dude with close homeboys could really relate to this. I remember watching this as a kid and I was blown away by the acting through out the movie. Watching this again made me feel good inside.
What a scene! What a film! and so good to see the younger Robert De Niro, John Cazale, Christopher Walken. A brutal story unfolded soon after this which should never be forgotten.
One of the only times I ever did karaoke, I did "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," and it ended up playing out a tad similar to this scene. It was in a bar, alcohol flowing, some people playing pool, and people singing along to Frankie Vallie.
when I came to the States this was second movie I saw. I really liked this performance of this song much better than others !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Soviet Jesus
Well, John Williams, the Aussie guitarist who plays it in the movie, didn’t actually write it. Stanley Myers did, but Williams expanded upon his version to make it the song we all know & love. I wonder if this John Williams is related to the same named American - who wrote the score for “Star Wars,” “Jaws” and almost every best loved score since the 1970s. They are both incredibly talented.
I just finished rewatching Jersey Boys...with CHRISTOPHER WALKEN as Gyp DeCarlo...the mob boss who mentored Frankie Valli. then to see this a very young Walken singing to this song.... that's just great.
What a film! Excellent cast. I love this song and I love this scene, I think’s it my favorite. I’m a big fan of Robert De Niro and have been watching and enjoying his films. I plan to watch them all. Deer Hunter is among the top favorites so far.
Well I love this song...and this scene always pop into my head when I hear this song...Christopher Walken is this songs scene, but I agree that noone touch De Niro in this film. But both are always a reason to look at a film even if you dont know if it's good or not. Real actors can make any movie interesting....and this was probaly one of the best movies ever...in a top 20 chart anyway.

Yes... One of the few. The following were more of a reminder of the effing results. 'Nam was a Cluster F... Same with Iraq. Deal with the stupid, mindless loss your county caused or will cause you "patriots". See how the US will treat you when you come back maimed or mind-effed from some other idiocy they pull. Be forewarned future "heroes".
legendary & well acted movie, but looking back at this iconic scene, this is really 70’s hair on these guys, when it was supposed to be taking place in the 60’s. I know, I know everyone thinks of long hair with the 60s but that hair fashion, along with other fads, didn’t trickle down to these country/hill folk until a bit later on.
John Cazale, every movie he was in was nominated for Best Picture. That’s special.
May God have mercy on him
He was a great actor 🙏🙏
He was dying during filming, so they filmed all of his scenes first.
@@mangrove He was dating M.Streep at the time.
She appeared in the film so she could be near her dying lover
@@martinmartin5562 Al Pacino said he was the greatest actor
This scene is 10x better after you find out how the movie ends
so fucking true.... well said!
Doctor Soggy
Yes very true....Nick oh Nick....I still vividly remember that last bullet :(
Excellent remark. Indeed.
One shot!
You're true man
This scene is amazing. The movie really would not be the same w/o it.
Yep really makes the 2nd half more meaningful. Showing everyone in a simpler, happier time enjoying each other's company before things got crazy.
Brodie McGrath it's wonderful
My favorite scene in this movie.
One of the greatest scenes in history...check out the one when they leave the factory with a race against the tractor.
This and wedding needed to.happen. I remember thinking why the hell the wedding was almost an hour of the film..by the end i wouldn't have had it any other way

Paul w, Don't be a dick!
@Hammerschlägen M Yah the damn politicians last that damn war.
Life unpredictable, I don't think the Romans thought they be fighting in wars involuntarily
You pretty much summed up the whole movie
I reveimmended this movie to someone he didn’t like it
I have him the same thing
Think about all those Pals Battalions in WW1. Whole towns in England lost almost all their young men in one day.
John Cazale... What an actor he was!
Already sick when this movie was shot, he worked until the end.
Rest In Peace, Maestro.
Wonderful actor and the love of Meryl Streep who starred alongside him in this film.
I can't stop watching Christopher Walken's little dance, and when the chorus of the song sings, it came out so perfect that I even wanted to dance like he did.
He was a professional dancer before acting, and could sing too.
Walken's a beast. This is a great scene bc of him.

Thank you for writing these words. Totally agree with you.You made me almost cry (but in a good way ) God bless you! :)
Wholesome

@@EnlargedPenis peace
should be considered one of the most iconic scenes in American cinema
RIP John Cazale (August 12, 1935 - March 13, 1978), age 42
You will be remembered as a legend
He's the only actor I can say, I saw every movie he ever did. Can you imagine what he could've done, had he lived?
The movie is a work of art in itself and this particular scene confirms it.
Deer Hunter & Taxi Driver my all time favorites they're both untouchable in my opinion.
Yup I saw both in 2009 thanks to my high school film class and I really wish I could go back and see them for the first time
@@dustytransitor866 It warms my heart to know someone could be moved by these films so many years after their release. :)
I always wondered what happened to him De Niro, Goodfellas, Once Upon a time in America, Capone in the untouchables, Taxi Driver, young Vito Corleone. Fast forward present day meet the Parents and bad grandpa. He even scared the hell out of me in Cape Fear.
You nailed it- these two are indeed the most well-acted motion pictures to date.
In my opinions, The Deer Hunter have some continous flaws, but except that it's almost perfect
This scene is so beautiful...I am polish and in my opinion Deer Hunter is the best movie about Vietnam War
The entire beginning of the movie paralleled my own life . Smoke stack town . The town I grew up in was polish but a lot like this Russian Orthodox church and wedding. we even had our wedding reception in a American Legion Hall . The old ladies acting the same .

What state was it in?
@@o.h2202
Same as the picture Pennsylvania
One of my favorite scenes in film history. Its perfect and heartbreaking
I can't take my eyes off Christopher Walken...lol Soo friggin' gorgeous he was...
SephyVince84 most gorgeous man ever
It was watching him in this film that made me fall in love with him when I was 18. I'm 60 now and still feel the same x
i love john cazale such a good actor
R.I.P
He was only in a handful of movies and they were all classics, Deer Hunter, Dog Day Afternoon and of course the God Father 1 & 2.
bless him..he died so young..@@markandersen793
I love this scene from the Deer Hunter. Everyone in the theatre sang. I fell in love with Chris Walken.
What a rollercoaster of emotions that theatre went through. From singing along to this, to the second part of the film. Wow,
crazy to think about
it also looked like the guys really were having such a laugh!
I must watch this film again. It's been about 25 years since I last saw it. It affected me greatly then. I have been too scared to watch it again.
Celtic Whisper Same here, too scared to watch it again. I was 12 or 13 when I first saw it. It’s been over 30 years since I’ve seen it yet it’s in my top 5 of my favorite movies!
I watched it when I was 12 in 2007 and I’m not even lying I cried so much thru out the film
Are you 43 years old now
Have you watched it?
@@eternalsunshine6392 No!! haha
One of the best movies of all time. Love this song!
great movie, best picture.
Every time i hear this song, i have this scene in my head ❤
One of the most moving films ever made.
One of the best scenes in movie history. They don’t make movies, music or actors that great anymore.
I can't take my eyes off of young Christopher Walken. He looks so angelic.
この場面が好きで、なんども観てしまう。あとの悲しみなんて、どこにもみえない
Growing up in a steel town this scene hits home…..especially in the ‘60’s. Steel workers getting off the graveyard shift and right to the bar. All the corner establishments were open back then. Would even cash their paychecks. Different times!
One of the greatest films ever
Memories... It is so hard for me to listen to these guys singing, without crying...
this scene just tells you so much about these characters without having to spell it out. you get the sense that these guys turn up at this bar every day or every weekend. they probably earn very little working in steel, but still choose to place bets over their pool games, as they are just hometown guys, who love where they are and feel no need to be tight.
Cazale standing up just to sing "I wanna hold you so much" 0:20 ❤❤❤
This is actually my favorite Walken moment ever. Thanks for this excellent clip from a great movie :-)
every time i watch this classic masterpiece i ball my eyes out like a baby because it hits all the feels deniro is majestic, walken is a phenom and streep is unreal @ such a young age she makes me cry in every scene. maybe the greatest cast ever in film history.
One of the best scenes ever. There is so much more to this than what appears.
You just know DeNiros character is gonna be ok in Nam in this scene! Genius
They were all so young and handsome back then.
do not dish the acting and emotional well god dam film, all the way through . back off . watch it again and again , you will always see something you missed, That's a well done film because it is loaded with action and good actors xxx 😇😇😇😇
even Cazale?
cazale has an aura
Thankyou Michael Cimino for best film in my life. RIP
de niro is GOD
Yes but Walken is better than God! :-)
No one is better than God.
THIS IS THIS.lol.great movie.
Oh my God Christopher Walken is damnnn 😍😍
Mie Reed most beautiful man ever
Last weekend I was driving from Ohio to NJ and this song came on while I cruised across I80. I relived this whole scene from the Deer Hunter as I shrieked along with the song. Epic movie with an Epic song.
One of the Great American films.
This is the best scene in movie history
i love you Nicky....
One of the best movie scenes ever....
This is such an awesome guy movie moment. Only a dude with close homeboys could really relate to this. I remember watching this as a kid and I was blown away by the acting through out the movie. Watching this again made me feel good inside.
tvil1969 I always thought this was a movie about friendship, not Vietnam. It came out when drinking and singing in a bar was my idea of heaven
Went to a club and at the end of the night they played this song. Had a similar sort of moment these guys had with my mates. Great song
Only good friends can understand
Amazing scene. And how beautiful De Niro and Walken were!😍 . RIP John Cazale💕
this movie made me think that we do not want to know about our future
There is this sense of some imminent tragedy looming all over the first part of the movie.
Love this scene! Totally embodies hanging out with the boys in Steel City.
Nobody staring at phones, just in the moment and enjoying life
Walken: Its my shot right?
Soooooooo hot!
xxcharmed1xx Smoking! I actually met him when he was doing “Uncle Vanya” in Harvard Square. He was 45 or so then - still stupendously gorgeous
Do any bars like this still exist in the states? It’d be a nice thing to experience. Just people immersed, living in the moment.
Mostly all bars are like this
There are a lot of dive bars like this in America. Just gotta find them
Smaller towns and neighborhoods where everyone knows each other.
In rural Pennsylvania absolutely.
One of the best movies ever made..great acteurs
RIP John Cazale... ♡
When I first saw this film I was mesmerized,took me weeks before I could bring myself to watch it again.I just had too!!
It’s Been a While Since I’ve Watched This Movie And It Still Holds Up Today!
One of my favorit films
favourite*
Perhaps my favourite segment from the movie.
Probably the most brutal wars we ever fought in. This movie brought it home. And, Apocalypse Now. That one really brought the horrors home.
my father was a marine in the south pacific. he said "the little firefight down the road was a big one for somebody"
Probably my favourite scene in the whole movie
What a scene! What a film! and so good to see the younger Robert De Niro, John Cazale, Christopher Walken. A brutal story unfolded soon after this which should never be forgotten.
watched this movie yesterday but this scene is so awesome i want to visit this time to time... probably one of my fav scenes of all time
Great movie! And what a soundtrack!
It’s weird. This scene comes up in my head from time to time for no reason lol.
I just watch first time.this movie,this scene is amasing,i knew it there is clip on you tube,Walken got the god damn moves
Yes. I'm the same. Strange
名作で名場面。
this one of best singing scenes so epic.and neverending story in strange things
I'm glad you guys enjoying the clip!
De Niro is God. Greatest actor ever. Period. No opinions
great scene
This film is amazing.
In case nobody said it already, it was a great touch after this to cast Walken in "Jersey Boys" as the local man of respect.
One of the only times I ever did karaoke, I did "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," and it ended up playing out a tad similar to this scene. It was in a bar, alcohol flowing, some people playing pool, and people singing along to Frankie Vallie.
and then u got killed in Vietnam
And then some angry babushka busted in like at 2:02 and took one of the guys outta the bar
Love the scene, I always play it in my mind since the 70's..
MASTERPIECE
A very difficult film to watch for many reasons. A truly miserable film but a must watch all the same.
One of my favourite clips from films. This pool/bar scene is a classic. So natural. Going to hunt down the film to look at it again.
John Cazale was a phenomenal actor
The definitive scene and version….
when I came to the States this was second movie I saw. I really liked this performance of this song much better than others !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Soviet Jesus
One of top ten scene in Cinema History
RIP MICHAEL CIMINO
Loved Cavatina - one of the first John Williams movie themes
Well, John Williams, the Aussie guitarist who plays it in the movie, didn’t actually write it. Stanley Myers did, but Williams expanded upon his version to make it the song we all know & love.

Love this song...great memories
I watched dear hunter last week then just watched sleepers now I’ve got this song and walk like a man stuck in my head . Got love Frankie valley
Powerful scene
I just finished rewatching Jersey Boys...with CHRISTOPHER WALKEN as Gyp DeCarlo...the mob boss who mentored Frankie Valli.
then to see this a very young Walken singing to this song.... that's just great.
Robert DeNiro was the epitome of HOT in this movie!
What a film!
Excellent cast.
I love this song and I love this scene,
I think’s it my favorite.
I’m a big fan of Robert De Niro and have been watching and enjoying his films. I plan to watch them all. Deer Hunter is among the top favorites so far.

Sound from the start hahah thanks a bunch buddy. One or maybe most favorite scene

Best film ever
GREAT SONG GREAT MOVIE GREAT ACTING NOTHING LESS WHAT MORE CAN I SAY !!!!
Me Otter,s are singing this right now and dancing and saying "thank f**k it,s Friday?" Hooyah? 🤣🦦🦫❤️
The first time I saw Robert The Niro in a movie, he was so good looking. just, wow!
legendary & well acted movie, but looking back at this iconic scene, this is really 70’s hair on these guys, when it was supposed to be taking place in the 60’s. I know, I know everyone thinks of long hair with the 60s but that hair fashion, along with other fads, didn’t trickle down to these country/hill folk until a bit later on.
one of the greatest scenes in film history because of the music
among other things
my movie of life....10/10 and this scene...truly brotherhood
Excellent movie! One of my all time favorites!
