Hi peeps,

I think I haven't cried as much in a long time. This movie was so so so so so strong. Definitely one of my all time favourites. Sometimes it's hard to bring into words how much I loved a movie, but this one is definitely one of my all time favourites. 

What other war movies would you recommend watching?

"OMG he's consolidating him!" In a reaction filled with majesty, this brief moment of (inadvertent) levity - in a scene choked with sadness - made all the difference for me. What a great reaction. Thanks so much for sharing it with us :)

Great reaction as always. This was my first time watching the movie and I absolutely loved it. I recommend you to watch "Hacksaw Ridge" one day, I think it's the best war movie ever made.

When this film came out in 1998 many Veterans alive at the time said the landing at Omaha Beach was the most realistic thing next to the real event. Some veterans had to walk out of the film because that scene was all too real for them.

For something very different but not seen anyone react to, maybe check out Restrepo? It’s a documentary of just interviews and video by a couple of very talented embedded videographer/reporters at a remote base in Afghanistan about 5 years into the war there. Even though it’s a documentary, it’s cut together very cinematically and feels more like a story than a documentary at least to me. You get a strong sense of the people, how they deal with daily life in that situation, small moments they have in downtime etc. Not an easy watch either, but worth it. Both for quality and for connecting a real view of what (some of) modern war is vs the more distant conflicts in Ryan etc.

As of last year just over 240,000 WW2 veterans are still alive.

This movie is a tough one to watch, but I'm so glad you did Mary. It needs to be seen for all the reasons you mentioned. We were crying along with you.

Don't feel bad Mary, this one breaks EVERYONE. If it doesn't break you, you're a sociopath. WW2 vets were leaving the theater during the opening scene because it was just too realistic. It's quite possibly the best war film ever made and raised the bar to such a degree that almost any war film is measured against it now. Also, if you're interested, 13 hours is a very good film based on the true and controversial events in Benghazi. As many others have already suggested, Hacksaw Ridge is a masterpiece, both Fury and Black Hawk Down are fantastic, and The Hurt Locker is amazing as well.

Your reaction was so well done, so genuine. So welcome to see your heart. Thank you for this. It almost made it feel like I was watching the movie for the first time again despite having literally seen it over 15 times.

I have never watched this one before. I am really not a fan of war movies, however I really liked this one. Tom Hanks was great in it,
