It’s hard to beat Saving Private Ryan in terms of war movies. The actors are stellar across the board: classic stars, great unknowns, awesome cameos.
Christopher Nolan brings together the dialogue, the sets, and the storyline. This one is always a difficult watch, but worth it to watch once every couple years.
Probably the greatest D-day scene ever filmed. Enough said.
Julia Roberts playing herself, English banter, a weird Welsh dude, and the viewer suspending disbelief that Hugh Grant could be a normal person.
Overall, I think it is one of the under-mentioned movies in the Pantheon of Rom Coms

Not only did it have a more intricate story-line than Fury Road, but also one that melds quite well and setups up nicely the original story. Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth both play deranged characters with an execution more committed than I expected.
