Did anyone watch this first time around? I was lent the dvd box set on Friday. I sat and watched the entire thing through on Saturday. When the Americans get something right they are truly outstanding. Amazing piece of television.
-
Yep. Saw it. Very good.
-
Can't say I have seen it but should the opportunity arise I shall keep your recommendation in mind.
-
Quite possibly the best tv I have ever seen.

I was thinking if Wenchy liked it, it was probably cack… but if TG liked it too… rubschin:

If you like 'Saving private Ryan' you'll like band of brothers, made by Speilberg and tom hanks about the same subject but fron D-day to Germany.
-
In my defense, whilst I do watch/read a lot of fluff I can do the good stuff too.
Band of Brothers was stunning not only in terms of acting, but the cinematography and the shooting style was more like that of a big budget film than a tv programme.

TBH I didn't really rate "Saving Ryan's Privates" much ...... too much F'ing Yanks winning the war on their own for my taste.

Bought it… whistle:
Blockbuster don’t deliver to Pissouri… noooo:
-
Yep, seen it. Excellent series. happy088
I didn't think Saving Private Ryan was about the yanks winning the war on their own. It was a small sector of the front and a small engagement.
And actually, I think the tankbuster plane at the end was either a Typoon or Tempest, a British plane.

We watched another three but had a rest last night...
...watched some extreme makeover shite instead. Banghead

I would recommend giving Jericho a try but he buggers cancelled it just into season 2 cussing:
-
Have you seen that UK extreme makeover? What munters... noooo:
-
Maybe that's the reason they need the makeover BaldyMort. Wouldnt be much of an extreme show if they all looked like Beyonce to begin with. point:

Bob was an excellent series, watched it first time round
-
I could be wrong but wasnt there a sequel to the book or did the author just do the same kind of thing with a different unit?
-
Just off to watch more BOB... cloud9:
