Was watching The Thin Red Line last night and had forgotten how great it is.
I love SPR, and will watch parts of it whenever it's on. It's fast-moving, somewhat cliched, but overall a nice neat package of a war movie, with perhaps one of the most intense battle sequences in movie history.
TTRL, on the other hand is an acquired taste. Difficult to get through in one sitting, definitely slow in parts, but the individual performances are stellar and the movie gives you a sense of the real grit and horror (and senselessness?) of war. More intense than SPR in many ways.
What say you?
