Perhaps instead of embarking on yet another nagging expedition you seem to be so fond of, you should simply try to see some good films mentioned here... perhaps that would change your perception more than silly arguing here. Perhaps seeing the Waterloo would open your eyes on how a good war movie could be created. And the others - how one can be powerful without being hysterical.But on the positive front, I noticed you dropped your two favorite strikes - the one about the vets (that was truly a weak argument par exlellence) and about me not getting Spielberg's great art (so sorry about that!). I say that is progress.
Next step up would be you taking to task this sentence:
"I can't say that I recall any movies on the holocaust that had moments that were more grabbing than the ones in SL."
Just how one responds to that is not clear to me, so perhaps you should take a stab. But as far as your mysterious:
"Me: Still waiting."
...my answer would be "For what exactly?" Have you seen the ones that Patrick and I mentioned?
