Re: GnREvolution Movie Madness - Round 1, Battle 5
Saving Private Ryan is a masterpiece. The first film to truly show the horrors of war. While Apocalypse Now showed us the psychological breakdown in the middle of war, this film shows us what its actually like to be on the battlefield.
Its not going to win obviously, but deserves to move on more than a film that had more interest in selling toys and happy meals. Star Wars is good, but doesn't really deserve to advance when going up against films that truly make a statement.
Re: GnREvolution Movie Madness - Round 1, Battle 5
without SW the effects in SPR proly would not have been possible
hell i think they even used Industrial Light and Magic as the special effcts company, who were founded to make starwars
also of interest is that SPR also used John Williams for the movie score
anyway the point here is that SW changed the way movies are made and how the final product looks...
never mind me just some fanboy ramblings 
Re: GnREvolution Movie Madness - Round 1, Battle 5
Star Wars is my vote. While the first thirty minutes of SPR are intense, upon a second viewing I found myself desensitized to the violence. Star Wars has a better story going overall. I did enjoy the Ted Danson cameo in SPR though.
