11) Saving Private Ryan (1998)
The opening sequence of the D-Day invasion of Saving Private Ryan is featured for its intense realism that makes you feel as if you have been through all the various battles. Director Steven Spielberg took the chaos-filled battle scene in such a way that most of the reactions from the actors were very spontaneous because they were not quite prepared for the intensity of the scene.
The confusion, fear, and shock displayed by the soldiers were genuine because the soldiers reacted to the loud explosions, shaky camera work, and unanticipated actions that were taking place on the sets.
Spielberg used handheld cameras to plunge actors into the chaos of war; therefore, their performances came out even more authentic. The resulting action scene is among the most frightening and authentic ever filmed.
