Your best war movie/tv series

[Screaming Eagle]

Hi everyone,

In your opinion what is the best war related movie/tv series you have seen?

My favourite tv (mini) series is Band of Brothers. One of the best WW2 related productions.

My favourite movie would be We Were Soldiers. It is one of the few Vietnam War productions and it is very well done.

Well my favorite show is Band of Brothers but I also like The Blacksheep Squadron, Over There, and Tour of Duty.

Band of Brothers is a great mini-series, and Combat! wasn't too bad a series either.

There was a series that ran in the mid 1970s called "Once an Eagle." It was with Sam Elliot. He goes from a private in WW1 to a General in WW2. Great story, ran the same time "Rich Man Poor Man" was on for those who remember that.

Odd Angry Shot a NZ film about Vietnam

Actually it's an Australian film about Aussie SAS soldiers in Vietnam. Band of Brothers is great and I also like Combat. Still waiting to see Baa Baa Black Sheep.

 

[Nonskimmer]

Ah, I haven't seen Odd Angry Shot. I'll have to look for that one somewhere and check it out.

Any of you Brits see "Danger UXB"? If so, how was it?

Whoops apologies all around

I agree with everyone, COMBAT! was a great TV series. I think it was the longest running of its kind or something.
