I would never say this is the best. I don't have a best but this scene was extremely intense:

I'm not big on war films, but even Paul Fussell admitted the first 30 minutes was OK.

Indeed, the first half-hour of this film should stifle forever all the unfeeling cant about the Good War. I'd like the Omaha Beach section made into a self-contained pseudo-documentary titled "Omaha Beach: Aren't You Glad You Weren't There?"https://mises.org/library/private-ryan

Read quite a bit of Fussell...both lit crit and memoir. Always a privilege to run into these WW2 vets at the hospital. Just read a book (finished this morning) on German soldier’s Remembrance of D Day...harrowing...

I’ve always been partial to Jack Nicholson...his acting in Antonioni’s The Passenger is perhaps my favorite performance but for best scene I guess it’s the Chicken ordering from Five Easy Pieces
