5 out of 5 stars OUTSTANDING!   June 3, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Anyone who gives this less than 5 stars might be completely out of their minds.

This is a realistic and harsh look at the lives of the men as they served during World War II. It burns into your memory.

Each of the actors did an oustanding job in their potrayal of the men of Easy Company.

I love the DVD set. The video diary of actor Ron Livingston is a real bonus. It was impressive to see all of the actors go through rigorous training and bootcamp for their roles. Hat's off to them.

5 STARS ALL THE WAY!



5 out of 5 stars From a teacher's view   June 1, 2008
Just a note to teachers: The boxed set clearly is an excellent investment for history and social studies teachers. But I particularly like the "Why We Fight" episode as a non-judgmental view of the Holocaust, as seen through the eyes of American soldiers. Those who teach about morals and values in Sunday School classes might also find this particular episode helpful.


5 out of 5 stars Classroom use   May 31, 2008
I teach American History to lower level high school students and this series is a fantastic tool when discussing WWII. I watched the series on HBO and the extra details on the DVDs are worth the money.


5 out of 5 stars OMG BOB is da BEST!   May 19, 2008
I started watching band of brothers before I left the united states at a friends house. I woke up one moring made some coffee and sat down to watch a war/film that ended up being an adventure. As soon as I got to my next assigment over seas it was the first thing I purchased from amazon and I waited home very impatiently till it came in, a week later! Very fast. I don't want to talk about episodes in the series because I don't want to spoil it for anyone who is interested in seeing it. All I want to say is if you get through the entire collection and the series doesn't inpire you to become a better person or fills you with pride then there is something definitly wrong with you. Highly entertaining and a must see for WWII buffs, or not, alike. I would recommend this collection to anyone even the French HAHA j/k.


5 out of 5 stars Awesome!   May 15, 2008
My husband likes all the war movies, me, not so much. But I have to say they hit a home run with this series. I could not wait to watch the next episode. It is a very personal view of war and their experiences.
