Query: Not only the best film of '98, but one of the greatest ever

Like the rest of history's truly Great Films - 2001, Raging Bull, Nashville et. al - this one got passed over come Oscar-time and was derided as pretentious by the usual parasites. Regardless, The Thin Red Line is a haunting, achingly-beautiful _masterpiece_, firmly establishing Terrence Malick in the pantheon of legendary directors.
