The Results Of The Best War Flick Poll are in and with an overwhelming lead Saving Private Ryan is the victor. As brutal as this unforgiving and relentless as Saving Private Ryan is, the physical and the personal points it burns with is a wicked combination of entertainment and the painful and awful realization that this is as true as fiction has come to showing us what war is truly like. For the same reasons Black Hawk Down was so engaging and touched me so personally is the same feel I have for Private Ryan. Each time I watch it I feel my eyes burning from holding back tears, and my throat dries with apprehension and fear. It’s a physical response to something that says a hell of a lot more than big booms and stuff exploding. It is both riveting and tragic and nothing comes close to it.
