Saving Private Ryan (1998)



Recently dumped by his girlfriend and fed up with the suffocating safety and comfort of home, John Miller (Tom Hanks) and his group of buddies (Tom Sizemore, Vin Diesel, Adam Golberg, and Giovanni Ribisi) storm the beaches of France in this European holiday that they'll no doubt remember for the rest of their lives! This raucous adventure through the French countryside is prompted when John Miller meets "Mieke" (which, in German apparently means "Private Ryan") on the internet and falls in love. Now he's gonna go get him and bring him home... or at least die trying!

You wouldn't believe the bloody mess these testosterone-filled miscreants get into during their tour to get Private Ryan! Along the way, they run into soccer hooligans, Italian rapists, and friendly German truck drivers. This gang's antics are for adults only though. Perhaps Tom Hanks puts it best in the most memorable and comedic scene of the movie: "THIS is why we can't take children!!!"
