To be honest it was a close call, although Ryan is visually a masterpiece, Clint's idea to shoot two movies (letters from iwo jima) showing simultaneous perspectives of the same battle was quite an achievement to say the least.

Really like Ryan. Great movie-so well acted by all; thoughtful ending re: Hanks.... yeah, beach landing scene was intense, too much for many vets who saw it....
All I remember about Flags was buying one thinking I was getting a mint poster only to find scotch tape - for some reason I am thinking I got it from Mel...
