My favorite scene is in the book, but not in the movie. In like 1995 (I forget the exact year), when Ambrose is researching the book, he takes Winters back to Bastogne. Winters, his wife, and Ambrose are standing there in a field, and Winters is saying, "So I put a machinegun position here and one here, and then..." when his wife bends down and picks up a .30 cal shell casing and hands it to him.
This shell casing is believed to have come from one of Easy's guns, and sat there for 60 years, and then Winters' wife picks it up and hands it to him...To me, that's pretty powerful stuff.
Probably wouldn't make a very good dio, though. So my vote would be for #3.
