Regrets Missing: Everything else we mentioned!
I still say the beach scene just reeked of trying to hard for me and actually annoyed me to the point of going from meh on the movie to a dislike.
Doh'! And I'm on the opposite side of the fence…I still argue that the scene works. 🙁
I'm expecting a sizeable backlash to Atonement when it starts grabbing Oscar Nominations… and I think midway it loses a bit of steam for me, and there is an arbitrariness to the long scene but I genuinely enjoyed the film and enjoyed how it approached the topic of cinematic storytelling.
as for Control: "I Am A Believer In Joy Division, Fucking Hallelujah"
There is nothing about the beach scene that I don't like! Favorite part in the whole film, even more than the library scene.
Speaking of beach scenes, check this out:

3 graphic designers recreated D-Day at Omaha Beach with a handful of people and lots of vid tricks!
"There is nothing about the beach scene that I don’t like! Favorite part in the whole film, even more than the library scene."
I'm not sure how they managed it but they had the main guys wander buy every single interesting thing that could be on the beach. The singers on the beach were the breaking point.
My dislike stems from before the awards were even announced.
