All of the movies you mentioned have limited scope as compared to BOB. BOB was all-encompasing. The movies you mentioned are time condensed for theatrical purposes.

BoB was one of the most moving pieces of cinematic work I have seen. It is such a great series I can't stop saying good things about it.

 

[amnesiac]

For some reason I didn't think I would like it. But I bought the DVD set for the $53 at Amazon.ca and I must say it is by far one of the most impressive miniseries I have ever seen. I love it.

<shiver> Thin Red Line....no movie has ever made me want to commit suicide like that movie (though Keanu Reeve's southern accent in Devil's Advocate came close).

 

[Apathetic]

It was truely amazing. Maybe Netflicks has it.

It is the best movie / series / TV show I have ever seen (not discounting other opinions, we are all different of course).

No series has ever put me smack dab in the middle of it like BoB did. You begin to know the people by name, and feel geniune loss when bad things come to some. Its a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs...marveling at badass (cough cough Spiers cough), feeling for those you just know arent going to make it. I love that period in history and BoB is the best account of those times I have seen. In the end I wished it was 20 parts, not 10.

FYI, each episode begins with interviews of surviving E company personell, but they do not tell you who they are until the very last part. A testament to how well the series was made / casted, I knew who most of them were before it was actually revealed.

BUY THIS NOW

i agree with recognizing them before they revealed who was who. Some of the casting was AMAZING.

Damn you beat me to it!

I loved it. Get it, you won't regret it.

I'm with the "best war movie/series ever" crowd...BOB is incredible. I picked it up from amazon.ca a couple of months ago as a blind buy and don't regret it for a second. Highly recommended.

[Rudee]

If Saving Private Ryan or Platoon had the same screen time to tell their story as BOB, they would probably get my vote as the best war movie. BOB was definitely a awesome movie though.

The only thing that ruined it (only a little) was the fact that ROSS was in it. I kept waiting for Joey to show up during one of the scenes in a town and walk up to a woman and say "How you doin'...?"
