The best and most realistic war movie ever!

Rating: 10/10 (10 August 1998)

War movies have, in the past, tended to lean toward patriotic flag waving or antiwar sentiments. There have been a few notable exceptions, such as "Hell Is For Heroes" and "Castle Keep". These movies shine through because they depicted the action relatively realistically.
"Saving Private Ryan" is another movie that thrusts the viewer into the confusion and carnage. The action scenes were extremely realistic.
If it had tried more to show some of the routine hardships of a combat soldier, such as fatigue, cold, hunger, etc., then I think this masterpiece of a movie would have been even better.
Even so, I rate this as the top movie of all time!
