Terrence Malick has directed only five movies in 40 years: 1973’s Badlands, 1978’s Days of Heaven, 2005’s The New World, last year’s The Tree of Life, and this 1998 war drama. An adaptation of James Jones’ autobiographical WWII novel, it focuses on the exhaustive, exhausting battles at Guadalcanal, starring Nick Nolte, Sean Penn, Adrien Brody, Woody Harrelson, John Travolta, George Clooney, and lots of others.
