Best Picture

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 1999)

There are those that say, that this movie won't play well on the small screen. It probably won't. Most films don't. Some say that it was too violent. Others say that the subject
matter has been done before. But I challenge anyone to find a
film that has ever told the story war so well. Like with Oliver Stone's "Born on the 4th of July", the truth, can sometimes be more reality than most people handle. I left the theater numb. It became one of my personal top 10's. It made my grateful to the many that paid the ultimate
price. Speilberg made, perhaps the greatest war epic ever. And, this was the best movie Tom Hanks has ever been in. Tom Hanks' may have earned his oscars for "Forrest Gump", and "Philadelphia", but "Saving Private Ryan" was a better film.
