'Band of Brothers' is just astonishing

[neviditelny]

Flak, you will never ever regret watching BoB. It is truly one of the best ever series made. It is just brilliant.

 

[KIA]

Don't forget to read the book.

 

[Trusty]

Never watched it but I'm going to and it looks like I'm going to be amazed!

Actually gobsmacked you haven't seen it, with a name like FlakGunna n all!

I guess once you've lived through that you can live through anything, how most of them didn't have severe PTSD is anyone's guess. Seems like they just got on with life as normal on return and I doubt anything ever stressed them out again as they'd already been pushed to their limit.

Yeah, i'm sure they carried their army training through as well - tidy, ate well, rounded off with being physically & mentally active.

Gonna start watching this again tomorrow, first 2 episodes tomorrow night.

One of the very few things I owned on DVD and then also bought on Blu-ray.

Yep same here, the only other DVD's I upgraded to BluRay were JAWS and The Thing.

Pretty much the last one of the main cast wasnt he?

Damnit....just heard this tune again and I dare anyone to hear this music and not want to immediately watch the show all over again

Yes, it's a stirring piece of music. The series has just started again on Sky Atlantic.

 

[mattyg]

Wasn't their talk of them doing a Vietnam one....

I always wonder why there's no equivalent British series. It's not as if the Americans did all the hard graft in WWII... The easy option would be a series about the LRDG/ SAS but there must be hundreds, if not thousands of stories that could provide the background for a series.

 

[VincentHanna]

Because it cost $125 million to make and no UK production company is going to be able to stump up that sort of cash.

 

[opethdisciple]

Never seen it.

There should be a Kickstarter

...and cast Damian Lewis to really mess with the American minds
