That's on my watchlist (I bought it to see whether I liked it enough to buy the upcoming 4K Ultra HD release) and would have watched it earlier if I hadn't completely forgotten today's date!

DVD for me, I’ve still not upgraded it to Blu Ray despite it being on my Amazon wish list for years

Saving Private Ryan-superb.

Rik · #**46877** 6th June 2018, 07:24 PM

Yeah, bit of a daft story but it’s worth watching just for the opening scene, absolutely fantastic filmmaking

I bought the 60th Anniversary D-Day Edition DVD for the princely sum of £1 from Music Magpie because I didn't own it at all and hadn't seen it since the first cinema run! I didn't want to potentially spend 30 quid on a film which (on my one and only viewing) seemed a bit dull at times and with clichéd characters.

I thought the best World War II film of that year was Terrence Malick's The Thin Red Line, but maybe my opinion will change with time and repeated viewings of each.

The Thin Red Line is great too, I haven’t seen it in years!

I do love the Criterion Collection BD release of The Thin Red Line but haven't watched it since 2012, so it's long overdue (nearly) three hours of my time.

It's an amazing filmmaking achievement and, like most of Terrence Malick's films, something you really have to immerse yourself in to fully appreciate its greatness.
