“Saving Private Ryan”

Grossly overrated.

Yes.

Typical of Spielberg hackness.

Yeah, but I’ll admit the scene with the chaplain pulling up in front of the farmhouse still gets to me.

SPR benefitted from modern special effects, but as to good performances, give me “Battleground”, “They Were Expendable” or “The Big Red One”.

maybe, maybe not...but I cannot hold it together every time the old and aged Ryan says, "tell me I have led a good life....tell me i'm a good man"

every time
