Saving Private Ryan - "Hey, Doc, I got a mother, all right? I mean, you got a mother. Sarge's got a mother. I mean s**t, I bet even the captain's got a mother."
Steven Spielberg's epic about D-Day but centered on the mission to find one soldier and bring him home. Cpt. Miller (Hanks) and 6 other Army Rangers have to find on soldier Pvt Ryan (Damon) and bring him back for return home. Ryan's 3 brothers had been killed in the war and General Marshall orders Ryan found and brought home. Stars are Tom Hanks, Ed Burns, Tom Sizemore, and Matt Damon. All did a excellent job. They received some military training prior to shooting the film from an ex-marine. The Omaha Beach landing scenes are brutal to watch. Once of the most realistic portrayals of the intensity of combat that occurs in just a few minutes of time. As Cpt. Miller dies he tells Ryan to "earn this". The film ends with Ryan visiting Miller's grave in Europe years later. The entire cast was outstanding in one of the greatest war movies ever made.
