Imagine what a nice result it would have given to see a real bullet hit him in the head!

I personally preferred The Thin Red Line and Full Metal Jacket. Saving Private Ryan was a little too patronizingly patriotic for my tastes.

Haven't seen Band of Brothers yet (no HBO, banned from Blockbuster :confused: )

How does one get banned from Blockbuster?

Get The Thin Red Line or U-571, much better. The only thing Saving Private Ryan is good for is the action, plot blows in my opinion.

I agree with this. SPR is amazing from a technical perspective, though, and the first 30 minutes are incredible to look at.

U-571 stole several hours of my life, and I want them back...it was like the Gigli of war films, so horrible that you want to die after seeing it...
