If you're looking for a war movie to watch this weekend before Veteran's Day, I recommend Band of Brothers.
It is a mini-series that HBO produced about the 82nd Airborne and their fighting in WWII. It is a 10 episode series and available through iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/band-of-brothers/id474228215. The battles and the characters are real. It was developed through in depth interviews with the guys who served in the 82nd Airborne.
Spoiler Alert: Without giving too much away, the last episode of the series has interviews with some of the survivors from the unit.
It is a bloody and gory tale of fighting in WWII. The television networks are going to full of classic war films this weekend. If you haven't seen Band of Brothers, this will be a good weekend to watch a couple episodes.
Warning: Be ready to watch the whole series. The story is well told; the actors do a great portrayal of the situations; and the filming make you feel like you're there. Like Lays potato chips, you can't watch just one.
