Saving Private Ryan (1998)
#71, replaced Forest Gump
I'm a big fan of films (shocking, I know) and I tend to watch movies with iMDB open on the side. This one has been on my list for a long time. Just one of those movies I've been meaning to get to forever. I finally watched it and my brain exploded with this cast. Did you know all these people were in it? Basically every male actor who has ever appeared on a screen in the history of cinema has a part. I thought the story was interesting but not nearly as compelling as the movie's hype makes it seem. Granted, 10 years later I've heard an awful lot about it and few films actually do live up to their own reputations. I thought most of the acting was excellent and the scenery and recreations of actual battles are amazing. I say thumbs up to the movie, but I wouldn't give it rave reviews.
