Reader “gatorsun” reminded me of Saving Private Ryan (1998), which of course was Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks’ dramatic World War II epic. The scene involving the Normandy Beach Landings is as intense as it gets.
The all-star cast features Hanks. Matt Damon, Tom Sizemore, Edward Burns, Vin Diesel, Jeremy Davies, Giovanni Ribisi, Paul Giamatti, the late Dennis Farina, the memorable Barry Pepper (pictured above, as the sniper), and Adam Goldberg.
Tough to beat that lineup, literally and figuratively.
Worth watching, again, and again…
As an aside, I actually once saw a film professor convincingly argue that this film met all of the elements of a standard “horror film.”
that knife scene always gives me the creeps.
Yes, absolutely.
I always look forward to your suggestions. As I am retired and live in Hawaii where the trading day ends at 10 or 11 depending on NY time changes, I always have time to watch a movie in the afternoon. And while I have my own ideas of what I like to watch, it great to see what someone of your youth and intelligence selects. And I must admit, you sometimes blow me away!
Thanks, Hawaii. Great to hear!
+1 CHESS..that movie started careers of the new generation of actors…inspiring
Yes, great points, thanks again.
and of course Ted Danson..in a powerful cameo
Such a good movie… One of the best.
Indeed, pyro!
