Not only that, but I believe Mrs. Bixby either burned or ripped up the letter when she received it. ;)

Band of Brothers to me was so amazing I don't think it can ever be topped. I didn't see it on HBO as I didn't have HBO then, I borrowed the DVD's from a buddy the week them came out, sat down and watched them all in a row one Saturday.




as for Saving Private Ryan, it is my 2nd or 3rd favorite war movie ever. The opening scene disturbed a lot of people, but it was needed IMHO. it didn't bother me at all.

Saving Private Ryan gets my thumbs up :aok
If you want to see HUGE beach landings, watch Flags.
And Band of Brothers....Man, - that's THE series.

But I guess the best WW2 theme movie I saw is "Dark Blue World". Simply better every time you watch it again.

I'd take Band of Brothers over SPR. I'd also recommend When Trumpets Fade: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0135706/

When Trumpets Fade was pretty good, I also like Empire of the Sun (man that kid loves airplanes), A Bridge Too Far (kind of funny watching Gene Hackman play a Pole), and Letters from Iwo Jima. (suck it up and read the subtitles)

Tears of the sun, are you serious?  It was such a painful movie to watch.  Very disappointing, considering Bruce Willis could have done so much more with his role.

Except for the stupid love interest crap they tossed in, it's a good movie.

What the hell is it with you guys loving movies where the actors forget to act even just a little bit?
