Re: Movies that make you cry?

Many posters have mentioned Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan". My only beef with this otherwise terrific film is as follows: Why didn't they just blow up the bridge and skeedattle? What did they gain by sacrificing all those Warriors (especially the sniper Jackson who was worth a dozen Ryans). And Ryan would have still survived. I read that John Milius was approached about doctoring the script but refused because Spielberg insisted on this ending. Oliver Stone told Milius that if the Hanks character had been in Vietnam he would have been fragged.
