The Longest Day. Saving Private Ryan had excellent special effects but the plot was ludicrous and had many factual errors per my father who landed on Omaha Beach On D-Day.

"Saving Private Ryan" for the realism portrayed at Omaha Beach - you REALLY could feel what it must have been like for those guys ...
Brig. Gen. Norman Cota (Robert Mitchum) in "The Longest Day" for the following quote:
"Only two kinds of people are gonna stay on this beach: those that are already dead and those that are gonna die. Now get off your butts. You guys are the Fighting 29th."

Has anyone visited Normandy and walked the beaches?
It's high on my list of things to do.

I always liked the scene where the Frenchmen goes crazy waving his flag amidst the bombardment...shouting & laughing with joy, despite the danger. His joy is infectious. I also can't help but laugh about the portly German on the mule with the water cans...he's Goldfinger!

Part of the problem with modern war movies like
Saving Private Ryan is that they are cast with a lot of leftist creeps who, because you are so familiar with their idiotic ruminations about current politics, strike one as simply ludicrous playing the roles of heroic men.
Ted Danson as a D-Day company commander?!?? Give me a break!
John Wayne as Lt. Col. Vandy Vandervoort? Of course!

My wife can’t understand why I watch war movies. She says they only glorify war. I tell her that they are a great example of the human spirit overcoming incredibly odds and the self-sacrifice that true patriots make so that others may enjoy the freedom that they cherish so much more than life itself.
One of my favorite movies is Patton. The best quote from it is, “No poor dumb bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making some other poor dumb bastard die for his.”
