Best war movie ever made

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2008)

This is definitely the best war movie ever made. It starts out like every movie should, on the shores of Normandy Beach, with blood spraying and body parts flying and explosions and gunfire and everything.
Then the dust settles, and out of it emerge the soldiers that will become almost your buddies, if not your companions, throughout the movie.
That is why it is shocking, after all these characters reveal themselves and you know them so well, when almost all of them die.
I'll be honest, I shed some tears at the end of this movie. You have got to be a robot with no tear ducts not to cry.
This movie touched me like very few, if none, have, despite the fact I'm not even American-born. Great, great movie.
