Shit, meant Saving Private Ryan. Oh well.

I feel like Saving Private Ryan could have been a 10/10 by another director. ATBS (JBS) I cried like a baby in the movie theater during the opening 20 minutes.

Band of Brothers is still the best D-Day movie.

Totally agree.

They did a great jerb of keeping the Hollywood schlock out of it.

The first time I saw the opening of Saving Private Ryan was one of the most intense viewing times I can recall

I still don't know how you do that. I guess teenagers really do think they are indestructible and the other guy will get it

Band of Brothers introduced Bobby Axlerod and he stole it. Great series

Having a grand dad who stormed the beaches of Normandy made it very emotional for me.

Yep and that distinguishes it from Saving Private Ryan.

The air drop scenes actually beat or at least wqual the beach head in Private Ryan in terms of pure intensity and horror. I could barely watch it and just wanted it over. Then I rewound and watched it again, mouth still agape and fighting the urge to look away.
