that series kicked ass. i watch it every now and then after a good marathon of Cod or Moh. IMO the best episodes were ep 2, 3, crossroads, and bastogne.

I'll save you some time.

Everyone here liked it. I have never heard anyone say they have't. And most people here have seen it about 10 times through including myself.

Meh....It's good, but you can't just say "Its better than SPR! OMG."

If it wasn't for SPR, you probably wouldn't have BoB because you wouldn't have the innovative camera techniques and what not - You wouldn't have it especially because there would be no collaboration of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.

Don't knock SPR so much.

I believe BOB was the best war movie/series ever made. I enjoyed watching it and will continue to do so since i have the DVD set. You really can't compare SPR to BOB because one was a 2hr fictional movie while the other a 10hr series based on true events and characters. Both are real eye-openers as to what took place during WWII though.
