Saving Private Ryan was enthralling.

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2002)

Saving Private Ryan is one of the finest movies every made. The richly wrought characterizations were very deftly done. These were real men who had genuine fear of being hurt or killed. The acting was flawless on the part of the principals and the many supporting roles as well. A friend of mine saw the film ten times in the theater. I went out to buy the laser disc as soon as it came out. That was when laser disc cost $40 for a new movie. Now one can purchase a DVD movie for about half that price in the discount stores.
Saving Private Ryan is THE classic war movie of all time.
