Lapses in believability are, to some extent, in the eye of the beholder.
... the beholder or the believer?
I'm kidding! Bad poster! :-(

Gotta chime in here & say "No Country For Old Men." Probably the worst movie I've ever seen. Isn't that Coen brothers? Which is weird, because I really liked "Oh Brother Where Art Thou." Oh well.
I haven't read a single post in this thread bit I'm sure that every movie on the AFI 100 Greatest list has been mentioned.
A Sparkly Coen film?

In this forum I'm sure Casablanca will always be bulletproof.
I think I knew Sparkly Coen in high school.
Old, JP. Old.
Sparkly never gets old. It just keeps sparkling.
Did I hear Twilight mentioned? :hug:Sparkly never gets old. It just keeps sparkling.
Then, you must be dripping glitter out your eyeballs.

Spielberg is the quintessential Hollywood dream merchant. If you have problems with realism and accuracy in his films (or anything out of Hollywood) you would be better served by viewing documentaries. C'est la vie.I would be interested to know other people's thoughts.
Nah, that is your friend Justin.
I disagree. One cannot overplay a battle scene, for anyone who has fought them (not that I have). I thought the final battle really made the movie.I might just be stirring up a little debate here:
Saving Private Ryan
Now, don't get me wrong, I think it's a great film. But i just feel that its reputation is a little too over the top.
I can't fault the opening sequences but after that it all gets a bit too 'action movie'. The final battle sequences are just too much for me. I recall a review from a British veteran of the fighting in Normandy. After watching the film he said something along the lines of 'The thing about street fighting is that you never go into the street.' He also commented on the overuse of ammunition.
And there's the 'let's use TNT filled socks to disable the tank' scene - just run out into the street and stick these things to a tank. What about trying the bazooka from an upstairs window?
I could go on, but i would be interested to know other people's thoughts.
As for the overuse of ammo it seems that it's always been the American way of fighting considering that US forces tended to be better supplied.
