Current isn't bad but I think we can do better. D-day is iconic so let's look at those first:

Saving Private Ryan:

and of course Real Life is full of iconic images of the things which inspired the above media

1.1 = 1.3 = 1.6 > the others

[down] If I had to choose, I’d go with 1.1.

Yeah, a crowner’s a good idea...no time for me to set one up ATM.

Since crowners are broken at present, I'm gonna try something. We're currently sitting at 6 definite votes for 1.1 and 2 for 1.10. Starting now and running through Friday (unless something gets a commanding lead before then), please post a [tup] for the options in the OP that you like and a [tdown] for any that you're solidly against; any you're neutral on can be ignored.

1.11 [tdown] because to me it looks like soldiers coming out of cover there, not this trope. [tup] to 1.1 - 1.4 and 1.7 - 1.9. [tdown] to the current as well owing to poor quality.

Calling the poll for 1.1; most of the other suggestions, including the one that was just put on the page without discussion, have been put on the Image Links page. I also moved the page quote to the caption since they're from the same source. Locking up.
