Saving Private Ryan (1998)

For Your REconsideration: The boys of OscarWatch head out on a mission: to find what may have been the actual best picture of 1998 among the five nominees. After much searching, they may have found it in Steven Spielberg's World War 2 opus, Saving Private Ryan. This week, we discuss the philosophical value of a single life, what a movie can look like when everyone working on it is the top of their field, the enduring legacy of the film and how it still hits you, even almost twenty years later. And remember, if nothing else, we got Band of Brothers because of this. All that and more, this week. Write us in at [email protected], and be sure to find us on social media @oscarwatchpod.
