Out of Sight.
But of those two, I'd pick Saving Pri-- sorry, I was staring at the sunlight peeking through the trees. I'd take Saving Private Ry-- wow, what a beautiful tree! I can't say what I want to say without staring at these trees! Maybe I need some voiceover to remedy that! Yeah, that'll show 'em!
Fuck The Thin Red Line!

I hope your cat deposits a Don Bluth ensemble amount of mice behind your fridge tonight. And you know what, I'll film those damn mice during magic hour and make them look fantastic all the while doing narration that is quack quack quack! |

Edit: You have to pick between the options given. Please and thank you. Lol, defintely a board pet peeve of mine when folks start writing something else rather than the given options  Anyway, SiL is a pretty good movie but SPR is my all-time #3 so it ain't a tough choice for me. |

Dark City is better than both and The Thin Red Line.
Between those 2.... SPR

I like both, I don't love either. I admire things about both (Saving Private Ryan is a gorgeously made movie, Stoppard's screenplay is a beautiful thing, and both ensembles are triumphant) but the further removed from their time we become the less I think they linger.

Saving Private Ryan, by far.
But my 1998 pick is The Truman Show, one of the most prescient films of the last 25 years.

Shakespeare in Love, easily. Can't stand Saving Private Ryan.

apart from the beach sequence, SPR embodies what I dislike most about Spielberg's mawkish style. The sentimentalism is soooo overdone. I was never head over heels for Shakespeare in Love but it's more clever, a lot better written, more entertaining, and more inspired. I'd take it any day.
