You are right RE Saving Private Ryan, what they are talking about is neither 5 minutes nor the opening scene (though it was awesome)

I was gonna post Dogs of War as well, although best is subjective.

You're probably thinking of the first 20 or so minutes.

The first 5 minutes (or pretty close) is an old guy in a cemetery.

Actually, the first five minutes of Saving Private Ryan, in the American Cemetery, was kind of it for me. You see pop and I made that same trip back in 1970, for that same reason, for some guy named Walter Grassell, I believe my pop spent the night in a foxhole covered in this kids brains, somewhere outside of St Lo', and I guess he just needed to say goodbye. When he went to see the movie, he said the beach scene was as close to real as a movie could make it, said he was shaking in his seat.

Thanks for that.
Honestly, I think the old man walking thru the cemetery, then falling to his knees with tears in his eyes and beginning to remember set the entire movie up.
I was not saying SPR because of the Normandy beach scene, as excellent as it was. I think the scene with the old man set the somber tone for the whole movie.

So before the Joker gets into the van he's hanging out on a street corner wearing his makeup?  He only puts the mask on as he gets in.  The other bank robbers, who then speak disparagingly of the Joker, should of spotted his face as they approached him on the street.

Watch the scene again.

The vehicle approached from behind the Joker and before he opened the door the mask was on.

However, if the old man is Ryan why is he remembering the beach landings?
