Tough choice

Another no-loser category... 2 great films.

I hear that Zihuatanejo is lovely this time of year:

How unjust that Shaving Ryan's Privates was not given a fair chance

Tough pick. I went with Shawshank simply because it's the one I'd prefer to watch several times(and have). That's due to the subject matter more than the quality of either film but there it is.

Another shocker for me.

I really like Saving Private Ryan, but head-to-head against Shawshank? Not even close for me??

Totally disagree.

SVP is such a powerful flick. For me, it is on the top couple movies ever. A true "Event" viewing.

SPR was just a bit too cliched for me...still enjoyed it very much, although maybe "enjoyed" is a strange word to use here.
"Hey, the radio man got his face blown clean off...I'm enjoying this!!!"
"Whoohooo, Tim Robbins is getting raped again!"

Spielberg played the audience (including me) like a violin with SPR. I was horrified when I was supposed to, almost in pain in other parts and blubbering like a baby on cue. But I still think it was a powerful film and a great reminder of what a generation of Americans went through to fight that war.

And no, not a single complaint about Shawshank.

Honestly, can't go really wrong with either choice here.

While I acknowledge that it is not in the class of SPR, I still am not all that thrilled with having to leave Stripes behind.

One of my absolute favorite comedies.

I like Stripes better than Ghostbuster (which is great too)

Lighten up Francis...
