Saving Private Ryan https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ac/Saving_Private_Ryan_poster.jpg Dir: Steven Spielberg Genre: War Year: 1998 I'm sure everyone here has seen Saving Private Ryan. It's widely considered to be the most realistic fictional depiction of D-Day/World War II--so much so that every person my age I've met has had to watch it in history class in high school in lieu of reading a textbook. Saving Private Ryan is about a simple of a story as it can get. It's literally a "get from point A to point B" film, which is probably where it suffers a bit and stops itself from being in the greatest war movies ever conversation. But, alas, it doesn't really need much in the way of story or character development purely because the visuals are that stunning. The only immersion into battle that is quite as compelling as this comes in movie #161.
