4, out of a possible 5, stars in t'Radio Times - and a moan from Barry Norman that the film gives the impression the Yanks (not racist that, is it?) single-handedly won WW2. But American films with any historical content always make things up - JFK, Braveheart etc etc. |  | | |

There's always going to be an element of poetic licence with American films, but the very notion that top brass wanted to save the last remaining Ryan brother makes a great story. And to be honest, you just can't fault this one! | |

Worth watching the two related box sets - band of brothers and the pacific, just as good as SPR in my view |  |

A Bridge Too Far for me - Mainly because my old man was in 30 Corps trying to get up the road to meet the Airborne Divisions at Arnhem. |  | | |

Add Djando Unchained to any top film list, as good as Pulp Fiction IMO |  | | |

Great list. Agree with all of them apart from the Godfathers which I shamefully haven't seen. | | | |

Read Normandy 1944 and you'll realise that the Yanks did play an enormous role as Monty was too slow |  |

I've also never seen godfather/s. don't really have a favourite as such either, afew of mine would have to be: drive, blade runner, breakfast club, the daywatch-night watch series. And of course aliens. Edit - forgot donnie darko
As for Band of brothers and pacific if I had a £ for everytime I'd watched those I think I'd be buying into the club. Other favourite series are. Big Bang and sons of anarchy. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Debate it all you like
Name as many deep, meaningful, convoluted, artistic, challenging, interlechewal movies as you like
Discus direction, cinemetography, lighting, production
Analyse an actors empathy, believability, sincereness
Do all of that
Then accept that Back To The Future (part 1) is the finest film ever made and all other debate is pointless.
Amen. |  |

Bit of a film geek, seen most of the IMDb top 250. Not watched Django unchained yet, was very impressed with Argo recently, and Looper and the new Bond also worth the cinema admission. |  | | |

I believe that might be because by the time they arrived in Normandy, 30 corps in particular had seen enough fighting to know that just charging ahead was no way to stay alive. Less experiences forces made more rapid gains (Americans notably) but at vastly increased cost. Montgomery's troops had been fighting for the better part of 4 years by June 1944 , from Egypt to Sicily, back to UK for a refit and then into Normandy. I don't think we should blame them for being less than enthusiastic. | | | |

Absolutely 49th!
Anyone who watched the recent series about Tank Men (the campaigns in Egypt & Normandy) will understand that by 1944 our lads were mentally and physically exhausted, fighting within death-traps designed by idiots which were vastly inferior to the German tanks. We'd already given our all, firstly in trying to defend France from invasion, fighting back on multiple fronts (with the Russians) to wear down the Nazi machine, before the Yanks deigned to get involved to clear things up after being goaded by Pearl Harbour (thanks Japan!) and claim the glory. Yes, they had heroic soldiers who fought and died alongside us, but we'd been doing that for years whilst they sat back and piled up their fortunes whilst we inherited a war debt that we still haven't managed to shake off.
