Band of Brothers!

Wow, well i just bought the box set after hearing some good reviews, and startin watching them for the first time. just finished episode 6 (of 10) and what can i say... this series is bloody amazing, never felt so into a war movie before and it's so well done in every possible way. I've seen a ton of war movies and this takes the cake, okay it's a TV series but nonetheless the '768' i think minutes run time is the best war... no is the best TV i have ever seen!

Seriously, anyone who hasn't seen the Band of Brothers is missing out!

I agree...

I recommend you get the movie "A Bridge Too Far"... one of the greatest war movies ever in my opionion...

Squeets

aye i agree with that. So many great actors in that, although compared to more recent films like i dunno We Were Soldiers or the Band of Brothers, it doesn't get me kinda 'worked up' and tense in the same way, i get genuinly tense over the bullets flying in BofB, never any other series or film tho, not even Saving Private Ryan (which i think was over-hyped and cheesy)

yeah i bought the box set like 3 years ago loved it

but i love WW2 stories so yeah it was a must buy for me

Band of Brothers is one of the top war "pieces" (TV or Movie) of all time. However, it does the best job of showing how people change in war, better than ANYTHING else.

I agree.
Band of Brothers is pure excellence.
It's my favourite series (miniseries or not) and is probably my favourite war-themed TV show. (film/series/miniseries etc.)

Great series, alot of solid actors involved.

Yeah that series was amazing. Aren't they making one that takes place in the Pacific now?smokeydabear076

I LOVED LOVED LOVED IT! Seriously, its completely worth the 40 bucks i spent on it. BEST SERIES i've ever bought (not that i bought much :P)

i didnt like the last few so much because there was less action but the one "why we fight" was so good. it was touching and made me feel sad. So what were your favorite parts?

they also need to make one about the african campagin and the China campagin thoes never get no love Norg

that would be sweet. it'll probably focus some on the pilots of the pacific war right? what were they called ? something tigers? i know they were like hired help for the chinese or something.

Band of Brothers is a true masterpiece. I need to get it on DVD.

I enjoyed it emensly.

Close Combat was a good series from the 60's, outta check that out.

Yeah, what a great movie. Have you read the book? Major Dick Winters has also written a book and there is another biography out there on him that is relatively new.

It is a very good series. If you thought the show was good, read the book. Major Winters even wrote a book as well. Both of them are very good reads.

Camp Toccoa where the first episode takes place is just south of where I live. Currahee Mountain is rather impressive.

Its good , prolly the best. have a look at the thin red line, flags of our fathers, brotherhood of war......purpleRz

thin red line is, was, and will never stop, being awful.

I prefer it to saving private ryan and many others. I did like enemy at the gates more though. Also I think letters from iwo jima is better than flags of our fathers, but thats just me:P

I bought it when it came out years ago, saw it when it was on tv too. Greatest mini series/war movie ever made imo. I can't wait till they finish the mini series based on the Pacific, made by the same people.Rattlesnake_8

iwo jima was way better than flags of our fathers. better story, more action, and good actors
