Probably one of the best war films ever. Having the warring sides speaking in their own languages adds a touch of authenticity and the movie stands in stark contrast to modern films where no-one seems to speak for more than 15 seconds. It tells the story well and, having visited the Normandy beaches, it is not a romanticized version by any means. Standing on the Pointe du Hoc and looking down those sheer cliffs that the Rangers had to climb bought home the heroism of those troops and served to underline how much we have devalued the word 'hero' by applying it to any overpaid, narcissistic, illustrated sportsman who is only good at doing something completely pointless.The documentary contained in the DVD is excellent and the intercutting of scenes from the movie with film of the actual locations makes for interesting viewing. It would be interesting to do an updated version. I was highly amused to see the mannequin dressed as a paratrooper hanging from the spire of the church of Sainte-Mere-Eglise which immediately brought that famous scene from the movie to mind. The all-star cast which is a who's who of Hollywood of the time is great as you try to remember their names, especially seeing a pre-Bond Sean Connery in what must have been one of his first roles. The more I watch this film, the more I like it. I'd recommend it to any war film buff and anyone interested in the history of WW2.
