"Saving Private Ryan"
Saving Private Ryan is a classic War movie, directed by Steven Spielberg. The movie is structured brilliantly, opening up with the storming of the beaches of Normandy. As the movie progresses the viewer becomes engulfed in a melancholy. When the movie is finished, he/she leaves with a humanitarian view point which I believe is intended. I think of this movie as a classic because after having watched it, I went out and saw all the other great war films in hopes to find one that matches it in sentimentality and over all quality. I have still yet to find one. The movie was released in 1998 and is still a favorite among people today.
