I see I'm in the minority, but I rather liked Thin Red Line. Yes it was a bit slow, but if you watch it as a straight war movie (a la SPR or Das Boot) it doesn't work. The film isn't actually a war film per se, it's a film with the backdrop of warfare. That said, if I even do plan to watch it again, I'll be sure to have my laptop in front of me, so I can lurk the forums during the slow parts.
