Band of Brothers, one of the best captures of WW2 in film.
- Thread starter Mr. Potter
- Start date
Agreed, that is the best military related production ever done for tv or cable.
Saving private Ryan as well. Only two WWII productions I’ve seen that leave you with sweaty palms as if you were there. Same with Black Hawk Down (TASK FORCE RANGER).

Enemy At The Gates is good too. I did like Band Of Brothers as well
I watch it annually. So will the kids when they are a little older.
Damn good movie indeed , along with others that were listed too .
"Hi Ho Silver!"
David Schwimer portrayal of Captain Sobel was awesome. Never a fan of the show Friends, didn't relate to it; even though I was at Penn State at the time and a third of the girls I "dated" had the Rachel Haircut. But his performance in this series made me one.

UH Rachel and that haircut , damn fine looking . Be careful though , some in here would not appreciate that . But yes good movies in all
I'd add 'Zero Dark Thirty' and 'Three Kings' to the highly accurate portrayal of military life/experiences films. Three Kings is notable since it's mostly a lot of f*cking off, which is what soldiers are doing when they're not soldiering.
Greatest WWII Piece of all-time IMO. I know that a lot of the soldiers in Easy Company were from PA, of course including Winters but what I didn't know until I came across this video, was that Joseph Toye lived, died and is buried here in Reading. I drive by the cemetary regularly. I will now make it a point to find his tombstone and pay my respects.

My FIL was one of those guys. But he was in the 502 not the 506. Same deal though… parachuted in the nite before DDay… did Operation Market Garden… shot and shrapnel in thigh from grenade in the Battle of the Bulge. Great guy
The incredible acts of duty, courage, sacrifice and determination displayed by the men and women who served in WWII goes beyond words. They truly are the greatest generation this country has ever produced!
Three Kings was a fun flick... The character played by Clooney was spot on.. Major something.. We had a similar Major attached to our unit overseas once and I intermingled with him here and there..if they aren't a Battalion XO or assigned to a S shop e.g. S1=Admin, S2 =intelligence, S3 logistics and operations or S4=Supply then they are in no man's land in between commands etc.. They have fun like Clooney character..
In basic in 91’, I was at Benning=Infantry. We added “Get Some” to our cadence…so when our platoon marched and the DI would call out Left Right..each time it was Left! Right! We responded with “Get Some” it was bad *** lol
If we include non-American movies, then I’d put Das Boot on the list of best WW2 movies.
