The readers of The American Legion Magazine voted "Saving Private Ryan" as the best war movie of all time, although with only 11% of the vote. That's OK, its at the top of my list.

"The movie depicts the realism of war by showing the bravery, fear, cowardice and horror of it all," said Mark C. Hemmrich, a Legionnaire from Stevens Point, Wis., who voted for the film. "It exemplifies our American ingenuity, honor and our sense of liberty, justice, religion and family."
The 1962 D-Day classic "The Longest Day," and the 1955 Audie Murphy film "To Hell and Back" both tied for second place, receiving 20 votes each. "Band of Brothers," a 2001 cable miniseries was next with 14 votes. A list of the top ten war movies will be published in an upcoming issue of The American Legion Magazine.
