I have not seen Pi yet, but am looking forward to it.
Like you, I kept "The Thin Red Line" wrapped in cellophane for some time before I finally broke it out this week. I think you'll find it's not your typical war movie. It's a bit long and slow in places -- and I would also add "quiet" to the list of descriptors -- you'll know what I mean when you see it.
You're right about the all star cast. Interestingly, some have only cameo roles.
Post back what you think once you see it!
Best,
- Jim
