Probably THE BEST war movie ever made. directed by none other than Stephen Spielberg himself and includes actors like Tom Hanks and Vin Diesel. The story revolves around a handful of soldiers who have just landed on Omaha beach and are sent to locate the last surviving member of the Ryan family ( a family of 4 brothers, 3 of them were killed at Omaha and the 4th one is the one they try to rescue). Along the way the team encounters various German patrols and outposts and the movie climaxes with a 1 hour city fight. this is the only movie which truly portrays war the way it really is. horryfing and brutal cinematography will keep you on the edge of your seat. definetely not for the squeamish. also includes a lot emoitional scenes. the movie fills the viewer with pity and remorse for the poor bastards who fought in world war 2. this movie definetely does not promote war and those people who say it does definitely have not seen it.

Best WWII movie ever made so far. Definitely one of the most popular WWII movies ever made so far (if not the most popular WWII movie ever made).
Taking place in WWII, a missing american soldier named Private James Ryan (Matt Damon) lost all of his brothers in combat. Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks) is ordered to find Private James Ryan hoping to find him before he gets killed and his mother has no living sons left.
Loosely based on a true story during WWII, where an American soldier named Frederick Niland went missing and all of his brothers were thought to be KIA. Being the only brother/son left in the family, a group of soldiers were ordered to find and save him so he can be discharged and sent home safely.
The beggining of the movie takes place during D'Day. The D'Day part is intense. The D'Day part was accurate (according to D'Day veterans in real life).
Similar to "Band of Brothers", (a miniseries taking place in WWII involving Tom Hanks as well as Steven Speilberg).

A term used to specify the great lengths men will go to, to obtain a booty call or sexual interaction. Often a build up of testosterone will induce shaking, abusive outburts and aggresion, causing the male to feel the need to satisfy his urges. In utter desperation the male will say/do anything in his power to ensure his 'soldier' gets some front line action, rather than withering away at home.

When someone has hooked up with every single sibling of the same gender but one, he/she is not allowed to hook up with the remaining sibling.
Hey, did Ross sleep with Sally when he was back in Iowa?
No, she wanted to but he couldn't do it - the Saving Private Ryan Rule, you know? He's already hooked up with Jane and Samantha.
Oh, right.

A phrase used to compare something, even when they aren't movie related.
Coined after Grantland writer Bill Simmons used it when reviewing the movie The Lone Survivor. Readers then made fun of him by using it in their email questions.

Ex: This is the best Patriots team since Saving Private Ryan.
That's the hottest girl since Saving Private Ryan.
Dude, you're the worst driver since Saving Private Ryan.
