I loved Black Hawk Down....I remember when it came out in theaters and I was in Medical Hold after basic training and one of the Drill Sergeants there actually was present at the base where they launched from in Black Hawk Down...he was actually in the next group scheduled to go out but didn't because everything got wrapped up...he was a huge B.A. and would often start to tell us stories only to stop and say "oh I forgot that's still classified so I can't tell you"...but anyway...because of that they took all of us to the theater in town to see it

but as much as I loved that movie Saving Private Ryan is one of the best war movies ever made and ever time I see it on tv I have to watch it...so yeah Saving Private Ryan got my vote

Wow. That's crazy. Those most have been some tense moments over there.
