It's a mini-series, so I wasn't sure where to put it as it's not really on TV anymore, I view it more as a gigantic movie divided into segmants so I put it here.

Now, I rarely watch movies twice, especially longer ones, but I have watched the entire 10 hour series (I will watch the Documentary bonus shortly to make it 11 hourish) for the 4th time and I will definately watch it again. That is how much I love this series.

It is, in my opinion, the best thing Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg have been apart of(Executive producers and Hanks directed at least one episode, I would assume Spielberg did as well but not 100% sure).

It tells of an excellent story and despite it's length it is very accessible to the casual viewer as the approximately 1 hour installments are entertaining and exciting without feeling stale, each episode looks at another member generally and still develops supporting characters as everything progresses, pulling you closer to the characters and stirring up emotions especially towards the end of it all.

No huge names as far as actors go (unless you consider Ron Livingston to be a huge name), but the acting is superb. I've looked into a few of the actors and this seems to be the pinacle in most of their careers and a few have even been given chances at there own shows, likely stemming from this (don't recall actors names but the guys who play Dick Winters and "Bull" Randalman were given TV series in the crime genre I think, I saw one on tonight and I believe the other was cancelled or just not on where I am).

I rambled on a bit but what can I say, this is by far my favorite DVD set that I own and the greatest series/movie I have watched, better than any TV show or movie that I have seen. If I had to pick one thing to view for the rest of my life this would be it.

I'm not sure what you all think of it, but I consider it a masterpiece. After 4 viewings, it still has not gotten old for me and even though I know what happens, the story still draws me in everytime and doesn't let me go until it's done.

The 2 Bastogne episodes were my favorite as well, I think it was easier to relate to because of all the snow I get here.

My favorite non-main character is George Luz, just awsome.

The last episode always gets me, just hearing where these guys ended up and knowing that the journey of the series is over is kind of powerful.
