Got some time to finally watch this movie with y'all!. It's movies like this that make me thankful that my two deployments in the Navy were boring af. If you go back to war themed movies, Greyhound and Hunt for Red October would add a nice naval flavor to the list!

Yup … I had a feeling I wouldn’t be the first to say Band of Brothers is a must watch now. And totally agree: best WWII mini series.

Yes, Band of Brothers is basically a must after this movie If you ever get the chance and like to see historic spots first hand. Taking a trip along the Normandy coast and beaches, gives the history and what was done just to get past the beaches at certain points. A totally new level of respect for those men and seeing in certain museum's the super basic like equipment they had to do it with. Like the museum at Utah beach, just meters away from the actual landing site is a great one to finish going to the last of the beaches. They even have an original landing boat as seen in the opening scene (the ones that get shot at when they open) Standing in one i was like, "this is just a floating deathtrap with no where to go" Also the airborne museum near Utah beach ,at St Mere Eglise is a good one since you would be in the area. A good finish to that would be to go to Mont Saint Michel. Of course there are several other places if able to go with that, like Bastogne which has an awesome museum just outside the city.

Ha, your comment wasn't here when I wrote my own spiel for BoB, but I basically knew there'd be one by the time I had hit send :P

Looking forward to watching this! Yet to see your reaction, but if you enjoyed it, I strongly recommend (and I won't be the last—this is basically a given response when reacting to Saving Private Ryan) that you watch the miniseries ‘Band of Brothers’. It is based (fairly faithfully, albeit of course condensed for TV, and with an error here or there) on the true story of a selection of paratroopers from training through to the end of the war, over the course of 10 episodes. IMO, one of the best and most historically important pieces of TV out there. BoB is a spiritual successor to Saving Private Ryan, a collaboration of Spielberg and Tom Hanks, as well as being based on Stephen Ambrose's book, Ambrose being the historical consultant on Saving Private Ryan. It also features a slew of actors you might not expect to show up in such a show, including a few in the babyfaced stages of their career, which is always a fun little bonus.

You guys should also do Band of Brothers. It's the best WWII mini series ever.
