Saving Private Ryan Interview
It's safe to say that Saving Private Ryan is one of Spielberg's best films. It's technically masterful, but it's also loaded with emotion. The film's lengthy opening sequence recreating the D-Day invasion is pulse-pounding and unforgettable, and the film that follows is truly epic. Spielberg won his second Academy Award for Best Director for the film, and rightfully so.
