I've never managed to see all of The English Patient, so my rating is based on an incomplete viewing. Bad form I know. Since I have no real desire to screen this title again in the forseeable future my rating will have to represent it with option to change on viewing all the completed work in say 20 or 30 years time.

The Talented Mr. Ripley - my favorite of Minghella's films, and one of the best films from a very good year. A brilliantly complex psychological portrait, a tragic drama, and the best "neo-Hitchcock" film I've seen (including those great Saul Bass like opening titles). Matt Damon is great, Jude Law is brilliant, and the supporting cast (particularly Cate Blanchett and Philip Seymour Hoffman) is outstanding. Patricia Highsmith's novels have been adapted by some of the best, including at least three adaptation of this novel (Clement's "Plein Soleil" being almost as brilliant as Minghella's adaptation), and I think her work is as fruitful an inspiration here as it was in Hitchcock's "Strangers on a Train". Top marks, no criticisms. God, I love this movie.

The English Patient - my second favorite, but a much lesser film IMO than "Ripley". Moments of transcendence, but also a bit gloppy with the sentimentality at times. Interesting that Minghella makes us root more for the amour fou than for the not trading secrets to the Nazis. Interesting, but less than compelling. I think the film should have been a bit more conflicted than it was (felt phoney in that respect), but many of the abstract images, particularly of the desert sands, are as evocative as any of the great epics of love.

Truly Madly Deeply - it's been years since I've seen it, but I recall being completely charmed. I should check this one out again.

Cold Mountain - wtf? Maybe I was in a particularly bad mood that night... completely worthless IMO.
