37137, I'd actually agree with Climax on that one

Private Ryan doesn't hold well over multiple viewings, I've found. So much of it's impact was on the graphic nature of the battle scenes. You can't help but be overwhelmed by them. However, when you're trying to watch it for, say, the third time, those scenes don't have the same powerful effect. At least not on me.

It's still a good film, and incredibly ambitious, but it's pacing and storytelling is not very good, I've found.

Meanwhile, like I think every person walking the Earth with a penis, I hated Shakespeare In Love right from jump. Love, Shakespeare, Judy Dench. That's not a mix that appeals to men.

But if you watch the film, it's incredibly well done. Delightful performances from top to bottom, wonderful dialogue.
