That's an old list. I would add a lot of stuff but I have severe depression from benzo withdrawal.

Oh, don't get me wrong, it's a good and quite possibly great movie. Maybe I exaggerated when I said "way better," but as an artistic piece exploring the ambiguities and surrealism of war, I think TRL is superior. No, SPR is one of the best produced movies I've ever seen, and it's intensely realistic, amazingly so. I think the D-Day storming of Omaha beach is what the veterans appreciate so much -- one of the best war sequences probably ever. But the story is rather conventional and predictable, and I gotta say, those close-ups of the American flag at the end are a real turn-off for me.

I watched Malick's The New World yesterday. It's great. The ending is a gut punch.

I saw the Thin Red Line in the theatre back in '99 and did'nt like it very much.  Ov course i was 14-15 at the time and did not have the comprehension and appreciation ov film that i now possess, so i would doubtless view it in a different light.  SPR was very good.  My favorite war(or anti-war if you'd like) movie remains to be Sam Peckinpah's Cross of Iron(1977), a WWII movie from the German perspective on the Russian front filmed in then-Yugoslavia with porn money.



My extensive favorite movie list would be dominated by the works ov Derek Jarman, Gregg Araki, Emir Kusturica, and Sam Peckinpah.  I also have a heavy bias towards movies from the periods '69-'74 and '85-'95.  If i had to narrow it down to 10 right now, they would probably be:

Caravaggio
The Living End
Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia
The Last of England
Edward II
El Topo
Totally Fucked Up
Dust Devil
The Wild Bunch
Black Cat, White Cat
