Hmmm.. I still think there's more blood and intestines splattered all over my television screen in SPR than Starship Troopers. I like Starship though for being campy ... and that lead actor (forgot his name) there is so delicious. I could just eat him with a spoon. 
That would be Casper Van Diem.
I never thought of
Saving Private Ryan as a gorefest, mostly because I was in sheer, quaking mortal terror for those 25 minutes of the Omaha Beach landing scene. I remember watching it at SM Megamall and being amazed because I saw families with young children (5-12 years old) watching this movie. I was thinking that if I'd watched that scene as a child, I'd be scarred for life.
Also, I recall that sequence where a G.I. gets grazed on his helmet by a bullet, and then when he removes his helmet to gape in amazement at where the bullet grazed him, that's when he gets struck in the bare head by a German bullet. That sequence sticks in my mind because many people in the theater actually laughed out loud. I remember thinking, "how in God's name could anyone find that man's death funny?"
To this day, I cannot re-view that opening sequence of
Saving Private Ryan. The impact is too great, I feel like I'll have a heart attack. All those hundreds of young men struck down in seconds. It's so sad.
