I think what you saw in Private Ryan were the cloches of war as much as war movies. Quarreling in the trenches, Tired veterans, canny snipers, Big battles, actually Private Ryan ended with a very small battle. I think the germans just walked in there because they didn't expect a handful of lightly armed men to put up such a fight. I suspect in real life that many german veterans with tanks and the other weapons they had would have made gravey of Ryan's Platoon. But it was not real life it was an american movie.

Did anyone else think that Enemy At The Gates was a much better movie? The scene crossing the Volga gave me chills.
