Saving Private Ryan [DVD] [1998]Saving Private Ryan [DVD] [1998]

This has to be the greatest war film of all time. The opening 20 minutes are the most realistic war scenes ever made. The cast is top notch and the director is Spielberg, What more could anyone want.

Band of Brothers is just perfect, it shows just what real heroes were. It makes you realise that those men fought and died for us, and I for one am very grateful to them.

The Pianist [2002] [DVD]The Pianist [2002] [DVD]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.00

Schindler's List [DVD] [1993]Schindler's List [DVD] [1993]
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £6.00
Agian as with the Pianist, it shows you that the jews were totally brutalised by the nazis. At first Schindler is only intrested in the money but eventully he realises just was is happing around him.

Saints And Soldiers [DVD]Saints And Soldiers [DVD]
