Flipping channels this afternoon and see it on. Can't go past it...I'm compelled to watch it again for probably the 20th time if not more. As I'm watching it I can't but wonder what awards it won...surely Tom Hanks won best actor and the film won best film...but no.
Shakespeare in love won best picture. Who here honestly stops and watches SIL if you even see it on any channel? Who here would list SiL as even a top 100 film of all time?

Did a study abroad on WWII in Europe. We toured Normandy and on the day we visited Omaha, we watched the opening beach scene in the coach with the shades down and, when it was over, we got off the bus and went down to the beach.

It’s a public beach these days, with some of the defenses still in place.

Upham still stands as one of the worst characters of all time

Worst from standpoint of being a pussy and sympathizer or just not needed in the movie?

By far. But he got to be redeemed after getting his buddy killed.

Check for theaters around you (usually non AMC/Cinemark theaters like Alamo/Star Cinema grill) around Memorial day. They've rescreened SPR two out of the last three years or so. I didn't get to see it in the theater when it was originally released.

The Thin Red Line was also better than Shakespeare In Love.

Life Is Beautiful is better than both.
