This should cool off the Rambo wannabes. The opening beach assault sequences were the most violent, realistic, and upsetting filming I've ever seen; looked as though the thing was actual combat footage. The shushing noises of rounds cutting through the air was the most chilling part of all. Perfect portrayal of the insane stupidity of war and the anguish of all who enter this most foolish of enterprises. A must see.

One of the best war movies ever. The first 30 minutes are so intense. Spielberg is a master director and that may be his best scene ever. There are so many actors in this that I forgot about, Bryan Cranston, Paul Giamatti, and Nathan Fillion.

Of course this movie is a classic and should have won the best picture Oscar. One thing I dislike about this movie is when it jumps into the future. I would have preferred it if it ended in its own period.

Saving Private Ryan is often seen as one of the best World War II movies ever made. It does an amazing job of showing what life was like for soldiers during the war. Tom Hanks gives a fantastic performance as the main character, showing the strength and struggles of the people who fought for freedom More

Gripping, horrific first-person experiences in the thick of World War II, as you're already, no doubt, keenly aware. It's held up exceptionally well over time, most likely due to the great lengths taken by Spielberg and company to stamp it down in a specific era and remain steadfastly histor More
