Curious about Saving Private Ryan. Would you call it a relaxed evening pick or something to save for the right mood?

Niamh, i have added a boost too. Would be interesting to see how it sits beside the other choices.

Saving Private Ryan is one I am weighing up. I would like to see this in the six with a few very different choices around it.

Caoimhe, i am following this thread for exactly that reason. Happy to hear a few different opinions.

For anyone considering Saving Private Ryan: This would be a good change of pace from the things currently at the top of my list.
