Slingblade was REALLY good!
 
Slingblade was REALLY good!

The first time I saw "Saving Private Ryan," after the film concluded, I thought about it and the implications of it for days. The concept of a group of men willing to die to ensure that a family is not deprived of the last son, The brutality of war, etc.

When I saw "Slingblade" I was entertained for an hour and a half. When the film concluded, I never gave it a second thought.
 
I have not yet seen Saving Private Ryan
 
The Walton's was a fine show with moral values.
I never liked it growing up - but watched reruns several years back and enjoyed it. It was comforting.

I'd take Jaws, Star Wars and Rocky off the list of 'great movies' as they are blockbusters intent on making cash and merchandise instead of truly great movies.

Especially Star Wars. By the time it was released in 1977, I had seen Midnight Cowboy, The Godfathers and One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest (truly great films). Star Wars was marketed as a kid's movie.

I do remember Star Wars as the first time I was called 'sir'! Context is important here. I was a sophomore in college and drunk as about seven skunks. "Sir, I must insist you leave the theater"

It was still a 'sir'!
