Saw 7 of these, missed 1,2, and 4.
Only two of these films have a remote claim to greatness/
Private Ryan and Braveheart, the latter of which was the better film.
NONE of the 7 brought me to tears, not even close.
The ONLY film to have done that in the last twenty years,(not including the ending coda of Schindler’s List, when it breaks into the present tense, and color)
is the great WINGS OF DESIRE, directed by the remarkably uneven Wim Wenders. WINGS does it every time. It is one of the greatest films made by anyone anywhere in the last 50 years.

Ah, Der Himmel über Berlin is the German title. Sounds interesting and the plot has tear potential.
