46. Saving Private Ryan is really bad

imho. Sure, it has a very visceral opening, but the plot and characterization is utterly non-existent; the "framing" of Matt Damon's character in the present is awful, and the whole "eaaaaaaarn it" from Tom Hanks as he dies is utter nonsense.

Band of Brothers, though not really a movie, is miles better.

That said, I'd vote for Patton, Where Eagles Dare, and The Great Escape
