From The Deer Hunter: Robert DiNero and his hunting buddies go out on one last road trip before a few of them are sent off to Vietnam. Jon Cazale, who you might remember as Fredo Corleone from The Godfather, plays DiNero's immature, irresponsible friend, Stan. Once again, he shows up unprepared and DiNero tries to teach him a lesson. I think the acting in this movie (as well as the story itself) is what sets it apart from the garbage they put out these days. Cazale was in The Deer Hunter, The Godfather, Dog Day Afternoon, and The Conversation (all nominated for Best Picture in their respective years). He died of Bone Cancer before The Deer Hunter was finished filming. He barely made it through his scenes in the movie, yet gave a typically great performance...
