Re: Saving Private Ryan/Band of Brothers
I don't know about "Best", but the emotional toll Saving Private Ryan takes on you is remarkable. I went to see it in the theater with my sister and father. Dad was riveted to his seat during the whole landing scene, then got up and left! We caught up to him in the lobby and he said, "Too realistic. Spielberg got it right. Just too damn real for me." My dad is a 26 year Army vet (Ranger) with two tours in Korea (conflict) and nearly 10 years in Vietnam.
When I did finally see it, and every time since, I can't help but get choked up at the end when the elderly Ryan collapses and asks his wife if he has led a good life...
Heck I'm choked up now just typing this.
Good writing/movie making, to be sure.
