Saving Private Ryan is better than Thin Red Line by a pretty good margin. A closer comparison would be Saving Private Ryan vs Platoon.

But all of them bow before Apocalypse Now.

Still only seen Badlands and Days of Heaven from Malick, and i'm not a fan of Saving Private Ryan.
What didn't you like about Saving Private Ryan?



War movies walk a thin line between Saving Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line, and they always fall on The Thin Red Line.

I think this all depends on how you approach each film.

They are both well done imho.

What didn't you like about Saving Private Ryan?
Haven't seen it in about five years so i can't go into specifics. Just don't enjoy it outside of the great landing at Omaha scene.

I really like them both so it's hard to pick. I like SPR for the story, but I prefer TTRL for the atmosphere, cinematography, music and tone. I guess I'll go with SPR for story.
