Default Band of Brothers!

My wife has been wanting to see this one again. It has been 10 plus years since we saw it together. So we started it last night in BR of course.

This movie / mini series will go down as my favorite of all time!

5 out of 5 Stars!



Actually it deserves a higher rating then that...

That was a good series. Since its first showing I have only watched bits and pieces of different episodes. I may have to give the entire series another go.

I do play the soundtrack regularly.

One of the best series on the war ever made indeed.
You really get a feel of how these brave soldiers must have felt in those terrible moments.
Good film score, I agree Jim.
The quality of the image and the surround mix is awesome.

I watched the entire "BoB" in Blu-ray over a few evenings last year, it was an incredible experience. Although, I wouldn't mind seeing it again in Ivan's theater...

It is an exceptional series. Theme music, overall sound effects, it will give your system a workout. I like the extras disc on how they made the movie ands the boot camop the actors had to go through. Maybe it was the assistance that Dale Dye gave the actors and directors/producers to make the whole thing more accurate and give it the right feel.
