Roughest scene from Saving Private Ryan?

i wanted to kill that pussy in the staircase

When is another real good war movie going to come out?

when the medic is dying and starts calling for his mom after they give him the morphine

I thought the opening scene when they got to the beach was the general consensus answer for this.

That's easily the most intense scene. That and the scene at night in the church, when the medic tells the story to Hanks about his mother, and how he would pretend to be asleep when she came home. I don't know why but that scene really gets to me.

The most intense scene is Doc's death when he starts calling for his mother.

Totally agree...something about hand-to-hand combat. the up close and personal nature of that scene is just brutal. Also the fact that it could have been avoided if the dude on the stairs had sacked up!

I think to me this scene makes the war very human - if that makes sense. It is not our guys fighting some nameless, faceless enemy - it is our guys fighting other people and the guy in the staircase reinforces this to me. How the German guy just kind of walks past him and leaves after that is as powerful to me as the rest of the scene.

the dude in the staircase wobbling his legs and not going up there

and it was weird how the german guy didnt want to kill him, but had to. he was liking talking him through his death as to make it less harsh. war seems crazy.

yeah, as i stated before, that's the scene that gets me the most
