Saving Private Ryan was still robbed, though.

I'm probably the only person who thinks saving private ryan wasn't even the best war movie that year. -- nm - mafic Nov 26, 02:01
if by "robbed" you mean the better movie won, yes -- nm - wererabbit Nov 25, 20:40 20
- No, I mean "robbed" as in the better movie lost. - ReluctantCynic Nov 25, 20:43 19
  - okfine, maybe I should give-in at long last and watch spr. -- nm - b! Nov 25, 20:45 11
    - I understand, I have a hard time with war movies. I thought it was worth it. -- nm - loosilu on her netbook Nov 25, 20:48 10
      - I think my having seen a lot of war movies and such is why I didn't watch SPR. - b! Nov 25, 20:50 9
        
        oh, in that case, I don't understand. :), yeah, watch it already! -- nm - loosilu on her netbook Nov 25, 20:51 8
        
        hee. yah, it's sort of hard to explain. -- nm - b! Nov 25, 20:54 7
        
        I get it - war movies are - well...war movies. I don't purposely watch them - Epiphany Nov 25, 20:57 6
        
        1941 is a much better Spielberg war film -- nm - peglegpete Nov 25, 21:09
        
        I watched a bunch when I was young, and many documentaries, too. - b! Nov 25, 21:02 2
        
        I see. -- nm - Epiphany Nov 25, 21:04 1
        
        "thanks for sharing, b!" -- nm - b! Nov 25, 21:05
        
        I found it gutwrenching, from the shot of Hanks' shaking hand. - loosilu on her netbook Nov 25, 20:59 1
        
        the worst for me *spoils* - Epiphany Nov 25, 21:03
  - SRP is, IMO, a true milestone. -- nm - loosilu on her netbook Nov 25, 20:43 6
    - the first 30 minutes, sure. the rest of it is every war movie cliche spielberg could throw up on the screen -- nm - wererabbit Nov 25, 20:55 2
      - Darabont wrote that section of the film -- nm - peglegpete Nov 25, 21:04
      - It is flawed, for sure. -- nm - loosilu on her netbook Nov 25, 20:58
    - SRP? Saving Ryan's Privates? -- nm - Redmond, Go Ducks. Go Cornhuskers! Nov 25, 20:47 2
      - No ... - ReluctantCynic Nov 25, 20:53
      - it sure ain't Redmond's. -- nm - loosilu on her netbook Nov 25, 20:48
