No...but it was a real tear jerker when I saw the old dudes recalling the story.

Band of Brothers on Blu Ray is absolutely the raddest way to spend time in front of your home theater. Really looking forward to this--I feel like the Pacific theater doesn't get as much attention (though the Eastwood movies did give them some). Possibly because Nazis/Germans are the go-to tv/movie villain?

I think this mainly has to do with a 1:1 battle in the most part in the pacific. Europe was a true world war. The Pacific was small in comparison and the ending was quick. Then take into account that Japan quickly rebuilt and became a strong US alley. But I agree, the Pacific deserves more face time as it was a brutal war fought by brave soldiers too.

I will be watching this. I will be owning this. I will be rewatching this. Nuff said.

I've watched my DVD set of Band of Brothers maybe 40 times. I've watched the blu-ray set another dozen times.

Never gets old. Greatest pieces of film in my generation. Period.
