In keeping with the spirit of the day I decided to watch
Saving Private Ryan again today. It had been years since I'd seen it, and when it was released on DVD the Omaha Beach scene became a torture test/reference peice for me to evaluate subs, etc. The movie is so intense that you don't exactly "enjoy" watching it, you endure it. But seeing it again I was impressed by how well it holds up over time and just how complete and compelling the film actually is. Plus it's a good reminder as to what Memorial Day is as actually honoring. Two thumbs up for a modern classic.
