Band of Brothers (2001)
description written by member Thom:
An epic HBO mini-series detailing the real life exploits of the US
Army's 101st airborne (EZ Company) from boot through the final days of
World War II, Band of Brothers presents an unflinching look at the real
men and events with little to no cinematic embellishment. Brainchild of
Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, it features a laundry list of solid if
not spectacular actors delivering complicated, poignant performances of
ordinary, flawed men that were asked to do extraordinary things.

Without question the greatest epic covering the events of any war, Band of Brothers, some ten hours detailing the real life exploits of the US Army's 101st airborne (EZ company) from boot through the final days of World War II, is a magnetic take of what it means to be a soldier. Unlike other war films where there is a...
