I must admit, after seeing Band of Brothers, any war flick will have a tough job topping that one. Say what you will about Spielberg and Hanks, but they did a damn fine job on Private Ryan/Band of Brothers.
I thought "Enemy of the Gates" was good, but could have been much better. I particularly enjoyed seeing that real-life commie Ed Harris get blown away at the end.
I know Tom Hanks is a liberal, but he generally keeps it out of his public life.
I know Spielberg is a FLAMING liberal, but...I generally like his stuff. Even if it is formulaic, he pushes the right buttons for me.
In any case, I am willing to forgive them both a great deal for making "Saving Private Ryan" and "Band of Brothers". I thought they treated the themes with great respect without interjecting political BS.
