People ignore everything about the movie Saving Private Ryan and only give it good marks because of the landing scenes. The movie itself was horrible

[Secret Agent Man]

Hmm. I wasn’t even thinking about the landing scenes. I was thinking more about the fact that just about everyone who went out to get the guy, didn’t make it. I thought they did a decent attempt at realism. I mean you talk to guys who were there and no movie is as bad as the real reality.

Couldn’t agree more. One of the most over-rated pictures ever. It’s not even the best World War II movie of 1998.

Same

Saving Private Ryan is a terrible film. I will never understand its appeal

While Band of Brothers, is great and under rated

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Films made during the war-—”A little Walk in the Sun”
“Lifeboat”
“Sahara”

I thought the landing scenes were horrible. How does anyone get off a landing craft 100 meters directly in front of and 15 degrees below an MG-42 in a pillbox?
