"The Thin Red Line" was completely unwatchable

Different strokes. I think it's one of the finest films of any genre ever made.

I didn't see either "Thin Red Line" or "Ryan" in the theater.

I saw "Ryan" first (on HBO), and really enjoyed it, so I went out and picked up "Thin Red Line"....which - IMHO - is a completely different movie, in every single respect.

If I had seen them in a different order, it's possible I'd feel differently. That, and with having relatives who were in the ETO, I've got more interest (a connection?) there than with the Pacific Theater.

However, I will say that you're the first guy I've chatted with that liked it. Different strokes, as you say.
