How can you give a rating to the best

Rating: 10/10 (30 July 1998)

If you want to see a movie with spectacular visual effect matched with sound that actually makes you feel like you are there, then this is your movie. If you want to see a movie that moves the entire audience in such a way no one moves when it is over, then this is a movie for you. If you want to see the best performance from Tom Hanks hands down, then this is the movie for you. During the first 20 odd minutes, Spielberg puts you in a beach landing. You are there, machine gunners are engaging you from far away bunkers. Artillery and mortar rounds are exploding around you. Brave men are falling. You will urge the American soldiers on, you will duck, you will smell the salt water and blood, you will yell "medic", and you will feel war. Truly, this one battle is the best scene depicting war other than film taken of actual battles (and this may be better). My hat is off to Spielberg. Truly this is a great movie, and only a few can even come close to comparing to it. Not since Schindler's List has a movie moved me. If this movie does not win best picture, best actor, best supporting actor, best director, best writing, best cinematography, best sound, best editing, best effects, and a slew of others then those that vote did not see this movie.
