Thanks for posting. I’ll be there. One of the greatest triumphs of the American free society. God bless all the veterans who defeated the Evil Nazis. All millennials should have to watch this flick. They have no idea of sacrifice

Certainly a must watch movie for everyone. It still is the most realistic war movie ever created. I am not sure how this is the 25th anniversary, though. It came out in 1998 if I am not mistaken. It was probably filmed in 1997. 21st anniversary for release???

Either way.....everyone should see this movie at some point. It does a great job of showing the sacrifice that was made to end the evil empire of the Nazis. Watching this movie and the HBO series Band of Brothers should be on everyone’s list of things to watch.

My dad fought in WWII and Korea and often spoke of the absolute horror of combat. The scene where the amphibious landing takes place was a graphic as he described. I firmly agree that everyone should have to study the effects of war and their opinions would certainly be changed about many issues today. I am most fortunate for having the honor to have had been reared by a Veteran. Life is much different when you are the offspring of a combat veteran. Some talk about it, some do not. All of them had their way of handling it. That is why their efforts must never be forgotten and always remembered. It’s a shame no President has succeeded in ending the Korean Armistice. Many Vets are still with us and it’s still the forgotten war.

Went with m dad as an 18 year old. Taking my 16 year old son and dad on Wednesday. The first 20 minutes in a real theater is the only time that i have ever been lost in a movie in my life. Gripping would be an apt description.

Or watch it on TV most anytime.

I'm so proud that America singlehandedly defeated the Germans and Japs so that Europe could later be handed over by Globalists to radical Feminism and Islamization.

Baby boomers should be reminded each day about the blowback from their self-centered decisions. Until you atone for your numerous socio-economic failures, you shouldn't lecture another generation.

Why should anyone consume the same stupid brainwashing that led you down the primrose path?


-Millenial who rejects Hollywood propaganda

8:25; Hi Steve Brannon. Go back to your Florida Nazi cave.

8:25 you sir or madam whatever the case may be are what most might consider a little bitch that should be strung up by your buster browns and have your ass beat with a belt. Your not a Patriot nor do your have any understanding of the concept. Your welcome !

If/when the US stumbles to the end of its reign as world leader and we likely find ourselves desperately struggling, the choices to remain a sovereign nation might come down to those that faced Europe post WW II and likelihood is that a somewhat socialist government will be the populist choice. The 'winner take all' variety of capitalism currently in vogue cannot survive its unplanned consequences. Corporate oligarchy will find its most dedicated current supporters to be just one pay check ahead of 'those people'......... You know, the ones who need to be starved into submission.

And "patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."

8:25 is a reminder that millenials are the first generation that is breaking the conditioning. Every time I see an article proclaiming "Millenials are ditching cable and not buying movies..." a part of me rejoices that there is some hope.

Undortunately Their parents and grandparents arent leaving them with much of a country. More like a heavily indebted farm that quit producing 3 decades ago.

Wow. You peeps will argue with a light pole. How about just appreciating it's a great movie?

Thanks Kingfish. Insulting potential viewers is not the way to get their butts in a theater seat.

BTW, IMHO "The Thin Red Line" (1998) is a just-as-powerful movie about the Pacific Theater.

Wow. After all these years I still walked out of the theater shaken and teary-eyed.

Going tonight. I posted above about going with my dad and son. However, the years (25) didn't make sense to me. It is indeed 21 years, so I was 22 and am now taking my 16 year old son with my father, whose father served of course. Granddad, who was a major and has passed, thankfully didn't see the horrors of war from the front lines (I may not be here), but he made damn sure that I knew the sacrifices made by so many of his generation. That is why I am so glad to be taking my son. I showed him the first 20 minutes when he was about 8 to seer the horrors of war into his mind. We watched the entire thing not long after, but of course, the true depth of the conflict and sacrifices and human suffering was lost on him. I am glad he will now have the opportunity to see the full thing on the big screen and truly appreciate it. Thanks for letting us know Kingfish.

And I am no fan of hollywood or the oscars but it should be a massive clue to us as to what they think of our country in that some bullshit movie (don't remember) beat it out for best picture. They had to overcome their love of Hanks and Spielberg to do so. That tells you how much they hate this country and those who served and serve.

Thanks for posting this. I went and saw it with a friend. Had you not posted, I would not have known it was showing.
