Don't Forget It

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2000)

In the past few years we've had a slew of memorable WWII movies.
Don't forget them.
Whatever your preference is, Ryan, Schindler, Thin Red Line or Life is Beautiful, don't forget it.
Don't forget the European battlefields:
Saving Private Ryan was the best movie of the 90's. Spielberg took no prisoners in his ultra-accurate portrayal of the war. See it (again, hopefully).
Don't forget the Pacific Theater:
The Thin Red Line shows the barbarianism of both armies. It shows what happens when beauty and chaos collide.
Don't forget the Holocaust:
Schindler's List & Life Is Beautiful are unforgiving, and unspeakably important movies. Be sure to see them.
Don't forget WWII. Remember it through these movies, if there's no other way. If Ryan is at all representative of the war, I'm just glad to have it to remember.
