The Deer Hunter
46% across 48 head-to-head matchups puts The Deer Hunter on the wrong side of average. The record is below the midline, but the distance is not insurmountable. A harrowing war film that demands emotional investment most voters aren't prepared to give in a quick-choice format. The weight is real, and that weight is both the film's greatest strength and its most significant competitive cost. Decisions come fast at 1.0s average. This is a film people have opinions about before the matchup asks for one.
