I'm pretty sure I'm out on this one.

So, someone isn't allowed to disagree with something just because it's well-respected?
I disagreed with George W. Bush's Policies even though he was President of the United States and well respected by lots of other people. Are you saying I should have voted for him anyway, even though many of his ideals went against everything I held as being "good criteria" as a leader?
Come on...
I realize I'm in the minority on most things and that's fine. I disagree with many of AFI's top movie picks. I disagree with Roger Ebert all the time. Who cares?
I didn't get any sense of emotion from Saving Private Ryan, I thought it was boring and dull and overrated. I probably won't ever watch it again. Travis obviously felt it was an emotional story and enjoyed it. Good for him. Neither of us are alone in our beliefs and I don't think any differently about Travis. We just disagree on what we saw in the movie. So what? That's what makes the world go round and helps give it it's diversity. Different strokes for different folks.
V says the movie is in. I'm not taking my ball and going home. Whatever makes it in, makes it in. I still get to express my opinion, as do you, and Sculpt and Straker and Roshiq and anyone else who wants to vote on an open forum. The majority is going to rule in the end anyway.
