The original "Tora, Tora, Tora" on DVD is an eye opener, for it was directed not by just an American, but by a respected Japanese director as well.

The time sequences are well done, many in the Japanese and American military have said it was well done, as painful as it was to watch, since so many scenes were taken of real stock footage.

The Pacific theater was opened by this one.

It's worth the few dinare or bucks or pounds, screw the Euro.

..."Tora, Tora, Tora"...

Probably the best of the Pacific theatre movies, but a close second is "Midway"

Then there is "The Sands of Iwo Jima" with John Wayne.

The war in the pacific was vast but these three best capture the flavor of the time and space involved.

I'm watching the Band of Brothers, so far up to episode 8, one week at a time and this series is without doubt the best of all. I wish there was a Steven Ambrose of the Pacific.

I couldn't agree more - Tora Tora Tora is truly the most authentic rendition of Pearl Harbor ever done. In fact, the newest "Pearl Harbor" is a joke!
