you know for my decision it may also have to do with the fact that i saw Saving Private Ryan opening weekend in the theater and thus really was not at all prepared for just how moving and graphic the film would be....whereas i saw Thin Red Line when it released on dvd
i agree as far as film as art Thin red Line takes the cake and for sure the breaking of the human condition is really concentrated on much more so than it is in Saving Private Ryan
edit.
exactly when i saw it the first time i was thinking to myself "finally they make a movie showing just how devastating that war really was"
