10 Best Steven Spielberg Films
5. Saving Private Ryan
Saving Private Ryan is an awe inspiring film that grabs the audience in the first few scenes and doesn’t let them go for the entire run time.
Saving Private Ryan is set in the Second World War and follows a unit of soldiers tasked with bringing back the fourth brother of the Ryan family. The rest of the brothers have been killed in action. We follow the unit from the start of the assault on Omaha beach right through D-Day and throughout the war.
As action scenes go these Saving Private Ryan’s are the best Spielberg has ever produced. As we travel with the unit we get to know them through various anecdotes so when bad things happen to them, and happen bad things do, we care about them. It’s an all star cast including Tom Hanks, Tom Sizemore, Edward Burns, Matt Damon, Giovanni Ribisi and Vin Diesel, with many men giving career defining performances.
If you’re a fan of the HBO show Band of Brothers Saving Private Ryan is the film for you.
