Nitpicking spelling is a lame debate tool, and besides, i agree with you. What other movie so closely connected with history, and involved the actual men who were directly involved while making the movie, AND released the video of their interviews as part of the movie/series? Frickin spectacular.

Some say it’s hard to watch. Well, yeah, because it’s war, and war IS hell. It’s not supposed to be pretty. It’s not like we won every battle, and none of the good guys ever got hurt.

I totally agree...Band of Brothers is very well done...and the interviews were spellbinding...

My father was with the Third Army under Patton and chewed a lot of the same ground as did these guys..I wish he’d lived to see this film...(He passed in 1989)

As stated before, I’m a Vietnam vet and 84 Charlie Mopic is the only movie that captured Vietnam for me...We Were Soldiers was very close 2nd....

My wife and I got Band of Brothers through Netflix. When we finished one, it was hard waiting for the next one. It was a very good series.

We did get a chuckle out of Ron Livingston (Peter in Office Space). Could just hear him saying "I wouldn't say I've been missing it, Colonel."
