I once watched the first part of Saving Private Ryan at a guy's house who had what would best be described as an "industrial" subwoofer. You didn't so much hear the explosions as feel them.

Looking forward to it.

21:00 on 05 April according to the new Sky mag.

 

Good find!

 

What about shaving ryans privates?

 

You can watch a good serial on Youtube showing how they made SPR

 

I got the date from the HBO website so it's probably the US launch date, my mistake.

 

Agree with all thats been said. SPR is an awesome film. I remember when it first came out an old US army Major said the first 30 mins was the most realistic warfare he'd ever seen put on screen.

Echo BoB though, that was absolutely amazing - can't wait to see Pacific.....

 

Most of BoB was filmed in the UK. Quite a few of the actors are English as well.

Top film and Bastone is awesome.

 

If you like SPR, try 'The Thin Red Line' too. It focuses on the war in the Pacific (Guadalcanal). Its a bit more arty farty but some blinding action scenes

 

I feel asleep and missed the end, did the American's win the war ????

 

Ha Ha, I admit it starts off a little slow!!

The yanks would like to think they won the war for us, but no enemy can defeat the British resolve and stiff upper lip chaps

 

They may have won the war with their manpower and economic might but without us Europe would either be under a Fascist or Communist dictatorship now, the Americans had to be dragged into the war.

 

Most of it round where I lived!!! The amount of nights they kept me awake was unreal. The used ammo list made some impressive reading

 

Both are brilliant. None of the glory crap that you usally gets. Shows war as it really is - gruesome, utterly terrifying, mankind at it's worst. I pray to God that my children or future grandchildren never have to particpate in something so horrific. Should be shown to anyone who thinks weopons (especially guns) are all about getting "respect" on the streets.

 

The best start to a film in history IMO.

I watched it in silence the other night trying to imagine the horrors the soldiers witnessed and what it must have been like

 

Hey, that looks awesome. I'll be in the States on the 14th I wonder if I'll be able to get it in my hotel room.

Cheers for the heads up.
