The rest I'll watch this week.
Saints And Soldiers is actually based on a true story. How accurate? I don't know. I do know it was an Independent Film on a limited budget and won just about every award (16 in total, I think) the Independent Film Organization has, including their equivalent of the Oscar. Most of their limited budget went to the same film company (if I remember correctly) that was used in Saving Private Ryan in order to get that same, washed-out, color, effect.
