I'm afraid the American dialogue eliminates Bruce, I never ever heard anyone calling out words to the affect of "Get off the beach,or die!" Or "I'm too young to die!" lcm1

D-Day and other remakes

They appeared more like real men and I didn't associate the character with the actor. Tom Sizemore and Tom Hanks both did a great job in Private Ryan because they played the role so well. I wouldn't say the same thing about Sean Connery or John Wayne.
With the anniversary of D-Day upon us again I guess you have made a very good point.
Is it time to consider a remake of 'The Longest Day' or other WWII historical (ie factual stories) epics, this time using the SPR approach (bearing in mind the story itself was a fiction)?

the Pedestrian: Battle Of Britain / Dunkirk /Midway /
Tora,Tora, Tora

the Brilliant: Patton / Stalingrad (now 20 years old!) / Big
Red One The Great Escape (well brilliantly
entertaining anyway)

the Abysmal: [I]A Bridge Too Far / MacArthur[/I]

We can also consider remakes of fictional stories.
I'll outline alist of which are brillliant and which are awful later on.

Candidates include:
[I]In Which we Serve / A Walk in the Sun / The Life and Times of Colonel Blimp / Stalag 17 / Bridge on the River Kwai / Guns of Navarone / Catch 22 / Hell in the Pacific / Cross of Iron

Regards lodestar
