The greatest movie I have ever seen..

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 1998)

No movie has ever moved me more than "Saving Private Ryan" You know a movie is a great portrayal of war when you get shell-shocked from watching it. I positively shuddered throughout the entire movie.
I saw this movie with a friend of mine. Normally we stay to watch the entire credits. We make our comments, give a rating, and go home. I could not move if I wanted to. For several full minutes after the credits had stopped and the lights returned, we both remained speechless and motionless. It is THAT powerful. Amazing. On the way home it took me a while to notice that I was driving well below the speed limit. My hands gripped the steering wheel tighter than they had ever before. When we got home, we stood outside my house for two hours, simply talking about the movie, about war, about what it MEANS to be human. Any movie that can do all that and then some, has got to be the greatest of all time. On this scale, a 10. On my scale, 9.8. (9.8 is the highest rating I have ever given a movie)
