Best Picture (1998)

Rating: Null/10 (3 February 2008)

If the people who pay to see movies were given the honor of picking the Oscar winner for best picture for 1998 and best actor, Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks would have that converted prize above their fireplaces on this day. In fact I will go even further and state that if their were an Oscar for best picture of the decade which was into it's eighth year, Saving Private Ryan would have that honor. Yes I watched Saving Private Ryan again today and while it's not exactly the experience I had when I saw it on the big screen, it consumed me all the same and will continue to do so whenever I view it in the future. Thanks to Steven Spielberg and everyone else involved. If I could I would present each and everyone of you a "people's Oscar" ,Jim Madden
