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,
