Saving Private Ryan

Saving Private Ryan
1998 -- Rated R
Director: Steven Spielberg
Tom Hanks, Vin Diesel, Tom Sizemore, Ed Burns, Matt Damon

Spielberg is without question the premier director at work today and can easily be among the top five of all time. Once again Spielberg has wreaked havoc with conventional film making and probably for the first time ever an audience can have real empathy with what the soldiers are going through in the heat of battle. I cannot watch this movie and come away without tears in my eyes for being thankful for the sacrifices the boys and men depicted in this film made.
