Robomatic ... I have to disagree with you on slotting Thin Red Line into the same class as Private Ryan. I do confess Red Line is confussing, when viewing it for the first time. It portrays not only the human element in the horror of battle but also nature. Private Ryan had one great flaw and that is it's portrayal of the 'enemy' as comic book bad guys.

One war movie I saw years ago when I was about 14yrs that made an impression on me was one called the Victors .. I haven't seen it since. I just wonder what my impresson would be i I saw it now.

Dr. Strangelove ... most certainly the best war movie of all time.
