I would add Platoon in the list as well

If we're talking about the emotional toll from war I guess I would rather see it for what it is and at a deeper level. Saving Private Ryan is more about survivor's guilt. These men died and he lived. Now he has to live with that and wonder if he was good enough to be worth the sacrifice? That's not an emotion exclusive to war and I think there are better films that can make that same point.
