It's said that World War II had three fronts: Europe, The Pacific, and the homefront. Of course, the homefront wasn't actual combat, but the sacrifices and losses experienced by the friends and family of those overseas were just as grave as those in combat. Saving Private Ryan is considered to be the ultimate movie in depicting the war in Europe. Who can forget the visceral, extremely realistic depiction of D-Day? A League of Their Own provides the perfect companion piece to Private Ryan, depicting the effect of the war at home. The fact that Tom Hanks appears in both films only serves to further illustrate how well these films go together.
