Best D-Day Movie other than Saving Private Ryan?

Saving Private Ryan was able to be not only a very realistic portrayal of D-Day (first 30 minutes), but war in general, with a touching plot and great characters to boot.

Any other D-Day movies that provide a similar satisfaction and intensity, like Saving Private Ryan?

Band of Brothers is a 10-part mini series directed by Spielburg and Tom Hanks. Each episode is as good as Saving Private Ryan, if not better.

Not a movie but Band of Brothers was pretty much the greatest show on TV ever.clembo1990

Its not directed by Hanks or speilberg. I think they serve as the executive producers or creatores. Basicly, the money flow and ideas :)

Band Of Brothers was really amazing. I have the DVD for the series somewhere stored in my house.

The Longest Day. It's a great film, but it was made in 1962, so it doesn't have the "intensity" of SPR.

I suggest you watch enemy at the gates, it doesn't take place in D-Day but it's based on the russian front and the protagonist in the movie is a Russian sniper. It's a very good movie with lots of great action scenes.fighter91

The Longest Day, it has Robert Mitchum. Enough said, my fuzzy compatriots.

The Longest Day

Nothing on D-Day is as intense as Saving Private Ryan, but there was a movie in the 30's called All Quiet on the Western Front that was freakin brutal, like violent even for today's standards. Very Guerilla style All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) don't watch the 1979 version. Btw it's a WWI moviethreegirlz

This man speaks the truth. All Quiet on the Western Front is the best war movie of all time. I loved it even more than Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers combined. The story is timeless. The anti-war messages still stand up today. And the German perspective is still something rarely done in films today, which I feel dissapointed about, as there are many overlooked German heroes that don't get their stories told just because they lost the war. There's a reason it won the Academy Award. There's a reason the novel is part of the high school curriculum. It is the single greatest piece of media based on a war ever created.

And to go against those who are recommending Enemy at the Gates, I'd highly suggest to not take that film seriously. Sure, it's a decent violent popcorn flick, but the history is distorted, and the acting is horrible. Jude Law really ruined the movie in my opinion. And what's worse is, the Russians all have British accents. If you were just listening to the movie, you'd think the battle was in El Alamein, not Stalingrad.

There aren't any other D-Day movies besides Saving Private Ryan.

Medal of honor frontline takes place during D-Day, as does the first mission on Company of heroes.

The Longest Day, it has Robert Mitchum. Enough said, my fuzzy compatriots.
