Sooo much potential in that opening sequence that then drifts off into the usual sentimental guff. Band of Brothers was outstanding and Pacific looks to top it!

thanks for the heads up, ice hockey is dull

beach scene is horrific

amazing start

Yeah BoB is my favourite tv show ever. Really excited about the Pacific version, although don't subscribe to movies so might have to get creative there :-).

SPR is a damned good film and BoB wouldn't have happened without it.

…but Cocktail is on Film4.

Mmmmm…………Elisabeth Shue

If only film critics were as concise and to the point.

SPR is a good film, perhaps a shade to long, can't get enough of BOB must of watched the series 6-7 time now, Shame the new Pacific thats coming out is only on HD though, utter rot, they should put it on Sky 1! Tossers

Only on Movies and MoviesHD? Booo! We Were Soldiers is my all time favourite movie, the part when the telegrams start arriving makes me bawl especially since becoming a dad 😳 the book is rather good too.

Just bought BoB Bluray box set at HMV for £25. Money well spent I reckon.

Band of Brothers was good simply because it was a true story written by a historian (Stephen Ambrose I believe).

And I am pissed off they are only showing Pacific on Sky Movies – ufcking rip off.

Tom Sizemore is great in war/action moives – SPR, Heat, Blackhawk Down.

Has he done any films that don't involve guns? 😀

Just watched District 9 – best film I've seen in a long while.

More hagiographer than historian.

If you didn't have the DVD box set, good purchase.
I did have the DVD set and IMO the Blu-ray set is no real step up as the original series had a lot of post production put on to make it appear slightly grainy (like a 40's newsreel) the HD sound is even better than the 5.1DTS on the original but that might be because I upgraded my AV amp.

Still bloody good stuff all the same!

Speaking of which, Rita Sue and Bob too is on now…

Watchin SPR now and I think its still awesome , If you like this seek out the korean movie "Brotherhood" as it is also amazing. Its the story of two brothers in the Korean conflict .

So what's your game then?

Haven't watched spr for year. Isn't there a disturbing stabbing scene?

If it's the one I am thinking of it gave me nightmares, german guy apologising as he slowly stabs…… Errrggh

Yes its towards the end as they're making the last stand to hold the bridge.

And I am pissed off they are only showing Pacific on Sky Movies – ufcking rip off.

Hmmmmm, commercial enterprise in making money shock?

If I had a company that had a product that was in demand, i'm certain I'd make as much commercial profit as possible.

If you want it so badly, then pay. If you dont, dont.

That's more like it! Guiltless sex with teenagers half your age! Eh? 😯

Everyone should have to watch that opening sequence at least once in their life. It's brutal, but that's what it's like to fight in a war.
