Country:  | Your best war movie/tv series
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.

Country: | 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.
