Good thread.
Schindler's List - so overrated and quite dull.
Saving Private Ryan - don't get me wrong, I think it's the genre more than the actual film, as far as war films go it was good. But again, so overrated.
No explanations needed really, I've heard it all before about these two films. I think they're just one of them things. The whole idea of threads like these is to uncover something you didn't see before and hope that it gives you a different perspective. I'll post a film that I didn't "get" but there's still time for my to change my mind when I think of one.
