The majority of television shows are reality based or pitches for wannabe celebrities, however Band of Brothers changed this and is one of the best pieces of television i have viewed in recent years, so much so that i splashed £50.00 or so pound on the dvd box set. A great show that had me hooked from start to finsh.
Yeah its a great show, a bit depressing and sad at times, and the action's great.

hmmmmm maybe not, but yeah its good. For me its that german film that takes place in a U-boat. The best in my opinion. Forgot the name.
I forgot the name...

And in one of those little coincidences, I am jsut reading the original book of Das Boot, AND the film was on television here a couple of days ago and I just watched it.
The film really is just a quick summary of the series- about six hours cut down to two and a half.

Yeah it was Das Boot. A very long film but the best WWII I've ever seen.
I remember starting watching it at 12am till 5am or something like that. Long but worth it, its great. When I saw it they must of shown the whole series back to back, although it didnt look like a series at the time.
U-571? Come on...

Das Boot was awesome.... Wasn't there a band that did a song "Das Boot" back in the 80's and they had clips in their video??? A while back?? Anyway, Band of Brothers is one of the best at least... Isn't it airing on TV soon, I think on the History Channel. I hope at least, I don't have the DVD's and still need to see it all the way through... Good musical score on that one too.
You are right... To Hell w/ Das Boot!!! J/K... But I wish I was watching Band of Brothers now... Have you ever watched it all the way through? No Breaks? You aren't otugh enough... J/K again. It is coming on history channel btw, I checked it out... starts April 11th.. they are palying one or two episodes a night in order... I cannot wait...
That is pretty tough... You could rival many LOTR fans for length of viewing capacity... I will watch an episode a night, but do not think I could handle the 10 in a row though... I will prob'ly watch all 10 when they come on in april since I don't have the DVD's...
I just caught this thread....thats freaking awesome. I've just been too damn broke to buy the box set so this will def be a treat. Thanks for the info!
