Movie-A-Day #150: Saving Private Ryan (1998).

Today is Memorial Day in the United States. It’s a day for remembering the soldiers who paid the ultimate price on the battlefield, both domestic – from Lexington and Concord to Gettysburg and Antietam – and abroad – from Dunkirk and Normandy to Khe Sanh and Fallujah. Several films have treated this theme well, but “Saving Private Ryan” is probably the best.
