This movie will break your heart, as it is a true story about a family of brothers who went off to serve together in WWII.  My parents had told be about this family, and what they went through.  It wasn't all about the war-it showed brothers growing up together and pranks that they pulled on each other and closeness that they shared, which is ultimately why they wanted to serve together.  I would certainly recommend this to anyone who wants to see the personal side of the family unit during the time of WWII.

I read Band of Brothers & The Biggest Brother first and can say that the film was right on the money for accuracy.  It also showed the almost superhuman level of bravery displayed by these men.  The movie centers on the one group of men from Easy Company..although there were many more men and situations involved.  You could have 20 movies or more covering so many of these historical events.

Very few movies are as well done, showing that the bonds of family can never be broken by wars or distances between. All of us have to show our respect to those men who suffered and died at Gallipoli 100 years ago never to return home.

One of the best WW II movies I have watched! Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber stole the show with their brilliant acting. The powerful emotions between the brothers and the will to survive..

One of the best WWII movies based on one man's ability to survive regardless of how or whom he has to sacrifice to save his own ass. You will like this movie. It reminded me of the political bulls*** I went through in the Army for 24 yrs,  Made me angry then and makes me angry NOW. The movie is just that GOOD !  Buy it, and you will watch it again and again.

Battle of the bulge is best seen on a big screen.  Nowadays, with the big flat screens, epics like this come into their own.  I have a lot of favorite films, and I mean a lot, but this is definately in the top ten along with Patton (hate the way Patton ends), In Harms Way may be in the top five.  This one is the five star general of war movies.  It puts you there.  You can feel the bullets and bombs landing around you.  Reminds me of my years in Viet Nam.

There were many things I didn't understand about the way things were done,however all I can think was the utter shock and horror at what they were faced with may answer the questions as to why the germans remained in barracks and at liberty when they first arrived ,and why the Nazi parphenalia wasn't immediatly torn down. I think it was an incrediable undertaking to make this movie .To undertake to study and daily deal with how to portray this for months at least and I am sure for years for some of them,they shall be praised in history and by me now. It is about all I can take to see it these 60 some years later, those who lived it and were able to work through it need to be remembered they are the best of humanity

One of the finest WW2 related movies ever made. Ganz' portrayal of Hitler is without doubt the best to date; you forget you are watching a movie and become engrossed in the story. Excellent cinematography, score and production values also. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for anyone with even a vague interest in the psychology of Nazi Germany or the last days of Hitler.

Prob one of the Best, Finest, Outstanding movies of WW2 ever made.
The film is brilliant, great directing, great acting, great script!
I enjoy the little tidbits of humor that is thrown in..like when Patton walks around the corner and kicks the Prvt in the butt....clasic! Or when the Chaplin asks Gen Patton if he ever finds time to read his Bible, Pattons answer is terrific.
Get the DVD, sure you seen it a million times but it's a must own film.
Classic one liners from the movie:
"What about the Americans? Don't they need a Hero too?"
"Well they have their schedule and I have mine"
"Ask them if they want us to give it back"
"Lodas, Lodas"
"Today I thought I'd stand up here so that you can see if I'm as big a son of a Bitch as some of you think I am"
"If you defeated Rommels plan, you defeated Rommel"

Well it's not exactly a movie but it is probably one of the best war movies ever made. It tells the story of easy company in the hundred first airborne from its training through the end of the war in Europe. The movie does a good job of depicting War for the average Soldier and how brutal it can be. It can be pretty intense in places.

 I don't think many people realize the huge number of casualties that line companies had during combat in World War II.

What can be said about this series that has not already been said? In my view, this is probably the best thing ever produced for TV and is also one of the greatest films ever made. If you have not seen this, then you need to. It should be required viewing for every American. As well as film can do it, this series gives you some sense of the what the people that fought in the European Theater in WWII went through and the incredible sacrifices they made. No film or book can do that complete justice but this film comes as close as I believe anything can. Since 2001 I have watched this 10 part series in it's entirety on or around Memorial Day or the D-Day Anniversary. This is the first time I have watched it using Amazon streaming. The quality and reliability of the Amazon Streaming was at least as good as DVD and in someways more convenient.

I highly recommend this film series about WWII. As I said earlier it should be required viewing for any American over 12. The Amazon streaming quality was excellent and if it is available I will watch it using Amazon streaming the next time I watch Band of Brothers.

WWII movies with armor rampaging across the country side are rare.  This film, even with its historical inaccuracies (which are hard to notice) is absolutely fantastic.  I wish I could articulate how this movie should be seen by more than those who are fans of war / combat films but at the same time, I'm not sure if those individuals would be able to understand what the allure is for those of us who do love these movies.  Stellar cast, glorious combat, and in the top 5 of my favorite military films of all time.

Maybe one day this film will make it to DVD; until then we'll have to be content with the tape.
This "small" 1991 movie is one of the most touching war films ever, featuring a terrific cast led by Gary Sinise and Ethan Hawke. This WWII story follows six young soldiers of an American Intelligence & Recon squad sent deep into the Ardennes Forest by their manic commander (a fabulously over-the-top performance by John C. McGinley) to await an impending German assault. There is a climactic event to the story that is so unexpected and powerful you will never forget it. Filled with beautiful imagery and a fantastic, haunting score by Mark Isham, this film is definitely not an upbeat experience, but ultimately offers a statement on the triumph of friendship and the utter degrading effects of war on the human spirit.

Kirk Douglas and Richard Harris never looked better and a superbly done war film directed by a outstanding director in Anthony Mann. I think done acccurately and from the film cover it was shot on location in Norway in the dead of winter and it shows with great photography,great cast,suspense,just a well done a film you can watch over and again and again Douglas and Harris looked great at their age in this film and looked convincing in their roles.

In short, the entire series is one, huge film following the true-life epic story of men from the 101st Airborne who fought in Europe during World War 2.  The acting is wonderfully understated.  No superstars taking over the show here.  Dialogue and sequencing are authentic.  Fans of "Saving Private Ryan" will immediately appreciate "Band of Brothers" for its uncompromising look into the very darkest heart of the war.  But "Band of Brothers" seems even better than "Saving Private Ryan" if only because, this time, the script is based on reality.  The men who live and die on screen, really did live and die, as shown, and the gripping nature of this film is a testament to the real and brave heroics of those who stood against one of the greatest political and military menaces of the modern age.  Those who carp or complain about the film "glorifying" warfare simply miss the point.  This is not a typical hollywood blockbuster.  This is not "Top Gun".  This is the real war as seen through the eyes of the real soldiers who fought it, and I found it awesomely moving since we see first-hand how tough the average American 'mongrel' trooper really is: the hell he went through protecting the freedoms we Americans now enjoy, the turmoil the war brought to his personal and professional life, and the ultimate sacrifice he often made for his nation, his unit, and his buddies in the trenches.  This film is not a love letter to war itself.  It is a love letter to the valor and strength of the common free man.  Though certainly not child's fair, I would recommend this film to any parent who has a child that loves "Lord Of The Rings."  Show your son or daughter the REAL heroes and epic warfare that rescued our world from a REAL army of darkness.
On a personal note, I found the bonus "behind the scenes" DVD to be a real winner.  Some bonus CD's are crud, but this one is a must see, not only for the in-depth interviews with the real-life guys upon whom this series is based, but also for actor Ron Livingston's home movie of the "boot camp" the actors were put through prior to filming.  As an Army Reservist I found myself laughing to the point of tears at some of the stuff Ron and the other guys went through, and I also found myself shaking my head that these guys found their ten-day mini-Basic to be so "tough."  Hey guys, try the real thing--9 weeks plus however many extra weeks you do in your Advanced school!  Ouch!  Anyway, even my Army training experience pails next to what the original Airborne troops had to go through.  My hat is off to the men of Easy Company, who paved the way for those of us in later generations, and who stand as shining examples to us all of what real heroes are made of.
