Still?! I thought all the Saving Private Ryan love meant that you had come around. To me, Ryan is a superior film to Line in every way possible. To be fair, I have a promise to Feev to rewatch the film. The rewatch will hopefully give me a better appreciation for the film, but it will never replace Saving Private Ryan for me. It holds a special place in my heart.
One of the more underrated aspects of the film is the sound. My favorite part is when Private Mellish bites it. You an literally hear the sweat falling from the Nazi's head onto Mellish's coat. Just so awesome. Another cool part is to look back at all the cameos years later.
Paul Giamatti, Ted Danson, Nathan Fillion, Bryan Cranston.
