Fury reminded me of The Thin Red Line . . . WWII movies that looked like they were going to be really good and SHOULD have been really good. But they both tried far too hard to be thinking man's war movies or something and they just got bogged down in trying to be cerebral and playing out tedious plot development.
YMMV, obviously.

In a sense, it is almost a compliment to the director because I truly feel his frustration in the movie. I genuinely felt trapped while watching it. I really felt like I was in an endless, repetitive cycle of hell. The only thing is that I don't relate to the character, I just hated him too.

Inglourious Basterds was the first blu-ray I bought. It was one of the last great looking 35mm films before the big digital push happened. We ran that print for 3 months and it hardly had any scratches, dirt, or frame jumps. Tarantino would use only the highest quality film stock, even if it was for 3000 copies. Crisp contrast of reds, blacks, and white, but also great green, blue, yellow balance. Normally one is sacrificed for the other.
That and Basterds was just badass.

I think half the fun of a movie like Groundhog Day is imagining how you'd handle the situation. You're supposed to hate Phil, and at the beginning he only does things to take advantage of others and enrich himself, probably like most people. But by the end, it's only after he improves himself and helps others, and apparently falls in love, that the curse is lifted. It's pretty heavy-handed and hits you over the head with it but it's an original way to tell the story. A lot of movies like that, and say Fight Club, have those mental illness undertones that don't really come out until the end.
As for Saving Private Ryan, take away the war scenes and innovative cinematography, which are both plenty enough to make a great movie, and you are just left with crappy acting, dialog and story. Eight or so soldiers are sent on a propaganda mission to save the last remaining brother. It would have just been another cheesy war movie if it wasn't for the newly designed effects, filming techniques, and over the top realism. The opening Normandy scene had nothing to do with the story, it was just a recreation. I would take Platoon or Full Metal Jacket over Private Ryan any day for a re-watch.

This past week I've been almost constantly hungry
it's getting old - I can't afford to feed myself like this every 3-4 hours and don't have the time in the day

I never saw Fury but plan on it. I'd easily throw Hacksaw Ridge up there among the best war movies and would likely change it out with one on my list if I spent time on the list. I simply didn't add it since it's a very new movie, but it's easily up there with SPR and BHD.

The little easter egg reference to it in one of the Toy Story (Toy Story series could be on my list actually) movies, in the toy barn with Rex chasing the car as seen in the mirror, was great.
