RE: Agreed as to BHD, but as for SPR...

Damon played a very small part, and the other battle scenes (French town, charging the hilltop bunker and guarding the bridge) were enough to push it into elite category for me. I'm even more critical of Hanks than I am of Damon, but the rest of the supporting cast was very good. And that subplot of taking mercy on the nazi captured during the charge only to have him come back and drive a knife slowly into the heart of private Mellish was for me the key message of the film. If that had been the focal point instead of Hank's words to Damon that his life needed to be worth the sacrifice, it would have been a much better movie. And that way, you wouldn't have the old Ryan at the cemetary to bookend the entire film.
