The Thin Red Line was left out in my opinion is that it was not a very well done movie. I felt that it was not a case of the Americal or 32nd division, as it was more of the 3rd shut-in Battalion of the 1st manic depression regiment of the Psycological division that should have been commanded by Dr. Phil. Way to much interpersonal drama that clouded what could have been one damned good action movie. It is no wonder Woody Harrelson and George Clooney jumped at the chance to snatch a roll in that film to get in another Hollywood liberal jab at how imperfect everyone is. I own the VHS and would have to dust it off to view it again if ever. Pacific should be much better. BTW, wasn't it originally titled `With the Old Breed'. Isn't it based on Eugene Sledge's book? Just wondering.
