I remembered seeing this movie in the theater. After the movie ended I saw an elderly man crying. I thanked him for his service. It was clear he was a veteran of the war.
Saving Private Ryan is one of the gold standard in quintessential war films. Both technically & literary. The Parent Trap is an underrated remake pre-mean girl Lindsay Lohan is a delight before "Hollywood" gotten their claws in such innocence. Disturbing Behavior & Mafia are also underrated gems Particularly Disturbing Behavior about how teenage angst & loss is manipulated and manufactured for the gain of pharmaceutical & conformacy.
I really miss 70s, 80s, and 90s Speilberg. His movies were always an event you looked forward to. After the 2005 he lost me a bit. Even War Horse which is beautiful in parts is forgettable compared to his old days. I guess I just wish during these last 17 years he made a couple more landmark movies like Jaws, E.T, Saving Private Ryan, and Jurassic Park
I think it was in HBO’s Spielberg documentary where he mentioned “growing up” from Blockbusters during production of Schindler’s List. Hook’s my guilty pleasure post-Jurassic and I do enjoy Catch Me If You Can, The Terminal, and Saving Private Ryan but always return to the Indy trilogy 😂

For me the two hardest scenes to watch are Wade's death and when Corporal Henderson has been shot through the throat. With Wade, we see instantly the little boy crying for his mama..to comfort him. With Henderson, as soon as he is rolling on the floor, we see how the larger war, and even the safety brother in arms are of no concern, since he is absorbed in his own death struggle. My only technical problem in the movie is how Hanks after describes why they are called sticky bomb, but later the soldiers are not throwing them as Hanks seemed to suggest was the way to do it, but running to attach these sticky bombs, which leads them to be vulnerable to the enemy fire, and/or waiting to long and being blown up.
I genuinely really like Disturbing Behavior, the teen horror version of The Stepford Wives, and the movie looks fantastic from a lighting and visual perspective
DL'ing this whole playlist I've made while I can. It's terrible how they comodify our past. Do they really think that by removing your work, we are going to rush out and buy a "At The Movies" box set? That we'll see a review of Kramer vs. Kramer and decide not to buy the bluray? Who is losing what, exactly? Grrabblerobbleburm. (Old man grumpy noises)
it's so nuts to me how they try and show clips of the D-Day landing and we get that safe, score-overidden trailer stuff. because how do you show it? every other shot is some terrible, bloody thing. that's a tough sell - you're trying to advertise a movie for how gritty and hard the combat is, but you can't show any of it on air.
Spielberg should never be allowed too much input on a movie script. He's not a good writer (as demonstrated by the novelisation of 'Close Encounters') and he falls back on sentiment too easily. 'Saving Private Ryan' establishes war as a hell that you simply survive with no ultimate justification for what you have to go through (beyond simply surviving it) No ultimate working out of events to provide some kind of redemption. The film then takes a 180 degree turn in the last third and directly contradicts this and we start to get contrived elements. E.g. Hanks' character's theatrical death and Ryan's questioning of his life. William Goldman criticised the film for this exact point. I saw this in the cinema and felt exactly the same, because it's really unsubtle. Next day I talked to my co-worker, who said exactly the same thing. When Tom Sizemore says that maybe saving Ryan would justify their experiences in the war, it is a false note. I am willing to bet money that Spielberg was the one who wanted that abrupt change in the movie to offer up an artificial ending to the film. We start with realistic war and we end up with Hollywood contrivances. It really undermined the film and it sort of trivialises the sheer horror to resort to cheap formula sentiment. In exactly the same way that the ending of 'Schindler's List' is phoney. Liam Neeson anguishing over some coins and reducing the events to a very simple-minded bit of moralising. I'd bet Spielberg's idea again.
This is why Cross of Iron is a better film . The movie is about the average solider in the front lines, simply trying to survive. Everything else becomes meaningless.
Spielberg has been criticized for vulgar exploitation of sentimentality and Saving Private Ryan is one of the worst. That part where that guy has his guts blown out and yells "MOMMY MOMMY!!!"...yeccchh. The new Parent Trap is awesome-Lindsay Lohan is great.
Saving Private Ryan was just more "Greatest Generation" veneration porn. Men in War is a vastly superior war movie. Death was the accepted reality, there were no heroes, simply men who were burned out who either wanted to go home or in Robert Ryan's case, a man who was confident that he would never see home again.
Oh man, I miss Raisinettes. Do they still have or make them? I haven’t seen them in a looong time (Even in the movie theaters.). 😥😥😥 -I’m starting to feel nostalgic now . I’m so emotional (And depressed .).
i dont think "Saving Private Ryan" is bad, but i think its a bit over rated. i also never even realized it is suppose to be an anti war film, anti war sentiment has got to be the most misdirected time waste that people can possibly bother with. never been a fan of allegory, i just want to sit down and watch a film and not have it have to have any hidden deeper blah blah meaning. when you are living in some repressed regime and you have to hide your meaning fine, otherwise just say what you mean. never seen "The Parent Trap" remake. when i was around 11 the original was one of my favorite films, no im not that old this was around the early 80s i believe on the Disney channel.

I really miss Siskel and Ebert. It was always so interesting to listen to two very intelligent critics who were also genuine fans of good movies.
I remembered seeing this movie in the theater. After the movie ended I saw an elderly man crying. I thanked him for his service. It was clear he was a veteran of the war.
For two guys who didn't like "Mafia!", they sure could quote the hell out of it.
They remembered more than I did.

Lindsay Lohan parents need to blamed too. A lot of fucked up people's problems stem from an awful childhood and terrible parents
Actor Tom Sizemore, who starred in "Saving Private Ryan", passed away at age 61. RIP.
I saw Mafia! In the theater and loved it. I think you have to be in the right mood for that kind of humor. Naked Gun, Hot Shots etc.
Thank you for taking the time and uploading all these great episodes every day

What did you think of Munich?
Everything seems to be a historical picture with him now. He’s no fun!
I think it was in HBO’s Spielberg documentary where he mentioned “growing up” from Blockbusters during production of Schindler’s List. Hook’s my guilty pleasure post-Jurassic and I do enjoy Catch Me If You Can, The Terminal, and Saving Private Ryan but always return to the Indy trilogy 😂
@@matthewschwartz6607 Munich was his last great one, until he did the movie about the Russian spy.
He did a great job on films like Munich and even ready player one. He did a wonderful job on the west side story remake.
RIP Natasha Richardson and Lloyd Bridges.
I saw this episode on TV📺😊📺
Saving Private Ryan (👍👍👍👍) and The Parent Trap (1998 remake) (👍👍) are my favourites.

You really need to see Men in War, Casualties of War, and cross of iron.
Roger was right; the remake of "The Parent Trap" was a lot better than you'd figure.

love saving private Ryan and one of my favourite classic movies by Spielberg
Saving Private Ryan is definitely one of my favourite movies of 1998.
I genuinely really like Disturbing Behavior, the teen horror version of The Stepford Wives, and the movie looks fantastic from a lighting and visual perspective
Same. I just wish they kept the original ending.
Thank you for these! Mafia was one of my favorite movies when I was 10 year old dumb little boy lol
Great uploads of the Siskel and Ebert episodes. However, I’m still waiting upon the Ebert and Roeper episodes from 2005-2006 to be uploaded
RIP Tom Sizemore.

Oh please much of the D-Day landing was lightly or even unopposed.

Apparently you have never read any first person accounts of war, this happens quite a lot with dying men.

Spielberg never does allegory. This was more like "war is hell" but it was the right thing to do.
Saving Private Ryan is a standard Hollywood war film after the opening invasion.
