Based on the bestseller by Stephen E. Ambrose, the epic 10-part miniseries Band of Brothers tells the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army. Drawn from interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as soldiers' journals and letters, Band of Brothers chronicles the experiences of these men who knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear. They were an elete rifle company parachuting into France early on D-Day morning, fighting in the Battle of the Bulge and capturing Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden. They were also a unit that suffered 150 percent casualties, and whose lives became legend. (official distributor synopsis)

Band of Brothers (2001)
A Saving Private Ryan movie stretched over ten hours? Nope. Because Brotherhood is better than Ryan. It goes into more depth (which makes sense given that it has so much time and characters to do so), is more believable, and especially after I read the book, it became unbeatable for me. The Tom Hanks-directed episode is clearly the best.
