Holy Sh*t

Thats all i have to say. Made the mistake of turning on Part 1 off HBO on-demand. 3.5 hours later and I finished Part3. Now I can't wait to get home to start part 4.
 
One hell of a series done by HBO. I loved watching it 3 years ago!
 
I have the DVD set of this... we watch it at work... one episode after another whenever we can! Get the DVD set- it's WELL worth it.

Best on a home theatre system with the sound CRANKED! My Uncle was a medic that went ashore on D-Day+3 and had stories you wouldn't believe... sadly he passed away before this series came out. :(
 
My Granddad was a radio op. for Patton. All he would ever say of his experience was how purdy Austria was. And how lucky he was to be alive. Seems a dud hit the ground about 10 feet from him.
 
That happened to me the last time it was repeated on the history channel about a month or two ago.

Also happened to me the day a few years ago when PBS ran the Ken Burns Civil War documentary. I couldn't walk away...
 
Very emotional peice...I love a good war movie, but that series is too good.

My grand-father was a helluva guy. He did a tour under "Bull" Halsey, had 2 ships blown out from under his feet, shot three different times. I think all that home cooking people ate years ago made them tougher than nails...

I'm not saying that our troops aren't tough now, (I'm a Vet) I just think we endured alot more during that period of time.

Ah...I think I'm gonna have to pop B.o.B. in....
 
Just watched 4,5,6 & 7 :whistling:

This movie is insane. The part that followed the medic around was nuts...and part 7 about holding the front line...

My uncle was Pattons personal jeep driver, he was present when patton slapped the soldier in the medical tent. I still have his service 45 in the original us army holster(best shooting 45 I have ever shot) It is a remington rand 1911-A-1, a real treasure to me.
 
I love this mini-series. I watched it on HBO when it first came out and got the DVD set for Father's Day last year. Some of the best television I've ever watched! :thumbs:
