Bren Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Well, i've started to watch Band Of Brothers TV series, steven spielberg and tom hanks produced it i think, and its absolutely amazing, brother got the boxset, and i cant stop watching. Now, are their any films that are based around this kind of thing, beside's the big hits like enemy at the gates, saving private ryan, etc, as i wanna buy some more :P And, wot yall think of band of brothers, i kno it was shown quite a while ago, but i think its ace.

Blackfox Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Great series. I purchased the boxset and loved virtually every minute of it. SPR is a great war film too! Get it. Enemy at the Gates left me disappointed, just seemed to cheesy for war. A Bridge too Far is a great little old school war film and has a wealth of great actors in it.

Platty Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Yes i love this series aswell. It's so well put together, i would highly recommend picking it up on DVD. I got the boxset in Virgin Megastore last month for only £19.99!! Bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calza Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I haven't see band of brothers but i suppose Black Hawk Down, The Thin Red Line and err... Acpolayspe (sp?) Now would fit into that genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramar Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Band of Brothers has been out ages now, anyone who hasn't got it, should get it. Loved it from when it came on BBC2 years ago, I made sure I bought my Dad the boxset for Christmas (what ever year it came out). Since then I've watched it so many times. Bull is one of my favourite characters, I also like Garnia and the doctor guy but I've forgotten his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I tried watching it, but couldn't get into it. The beginning was just so boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Dare Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 bob was a great series. very, very good stuff. as for movies- watch platoon, apocalypse now and full metal jacket. great nam movies those. check out the deer hunter too. for me, spr was a weaker film because of what it tried to do- spielberg did wonders in the first 20 mins but lost the effect by having to make it into a full feature movie about a load of crap from hollywood. he should have made a 2 hour film that focused entirely on the beaches instead.

jamesy101 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I loved it when it was on television. I remember seeing it in the shops for £70 originally, now it is down to about £20. I suppose it is two or three years old though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
