But yeah now I'm starting to wonder if it isn't time to revisit. It was my first Malick. And I've LOVED the three I've seen since. Maybe it was time and place. Maybe it was the fact that it was 300 degrees in the theater that night. Maybe it was the fact that I'd only had 4 hours of sleep the night before. Maybe it was the fact the movie was way longer than I expected and I had the promise of sex after the movie and it was 4 hours long. I don't know. We'll never know for sure.

I didn't think it was that great either. But, like you I haven't seen it since it was in the theaters.

You guys, The Thin Red Line is very obviously the best thing Malick has ever made or ever will make. And by a huge margin.
I would've thought TTRL had too much straight narrative for your tastes.
I think it's the perfect middle ground for Malick. More ethereal and fluid than Badlands, but not as a meandering, repetitive, and generally bullshitty as To the Wonder. I think Malick needs a little narrative grounding so he doesn't get lost in himself.

Ranking Malick:
1. Badlands (A+) 2. Tree of Life (A-) . 3. Days of Heaven (B-) . . . 4. To the Wonder (C-) . . . . . . . 5. The Thin Red Line (Fart Noise, except the Ben Chaplin reads a letter scene and parts of Penn climbing that hill)
