The D-Day landings scene, one of the most iconic scenes in the film, was shot on Ballinesker Beach in County Wexford, Ireland, as Spielberg thought it was a close replica of Normandy’s Omaha Beach.
Research by Irish casino Slotbox.com compiled ratings for all films that have been shot in Ireland to see which were fans’ and critics’ favourites alike.
A spokesperson for Slotbox said: “While the majority of the entries in the list are either Irish films are films set in Ireland, Saving Private Ryan may come as a shock to some, especially as most of the blockbuster takes place in France.” The film focuses on the Irish writer and painter Christy Brown and was filmed mainly at Ardmore Studios in Bray, County Wicklow, as well as on the city streets of Dublin.The film received an average rating of 87.6 in the study. Based on the 1844 novel The Luck of Barry Lyndon by William Makepeace Thackeray, many exterior shots were filmed at numerous parts of Ireland, including Dublin Castle, Powerscourt House in County Wicklow and Castletown House in Co. Tipperary.
Rounding out the top five is ‘In The Name of The Father’, Jim Sheridan’s 1993 biographical crime drama.
