I only just watched this shit last week, lads. Late to the party I know.
I was never really into world war stuff until I saw this. Took me a while to get into but by ep6 I was balls deep into loving this. After I finished the last episode, I then watched Saving Private Ryan followed by Hacksaw Ridge.
I am now watching through The Pacific.
What I'm here to ask is what are your favourite World War 2 movies/series?
Is there a BoB-tier movie or series about WW1?

bumping for OP.
The Pacific is my favorite WW2 mini series. Sup Forums will hate on it but I think it is much better in every aspect than BoB. Leckie is my favorite character. I hope you are enjoying it, it gets really good.
Unfortunately there are no WW1 BoB type series.
Maybe you can check out this. It's a Norwegian show. Not too bad
There is no shows like Band of Brothers or The Pacific. In terms of films? There isn't much coming out bar Dunkirk.
As for my favourite WW2 series?
The World At War.
Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter
There is a WW1 BoB style show, it's called Our World War. It's about Britain though, obviously. It's about war from 1914-1916 I think and follows various people including tank crews.
people killed each other. why do you find any of this interesting?
in the end both world wars were meaningless, because germany completely controls europe now, just like they wanted to from the beginning.
I think Band of Brothers is the perfect lenght for a tv show.
No need to milk it to hell with 4-5-6 seasons
How are you not hooked half way through Currahee, or day of days at the latest?
Go to bed Hans.
Are the rest of the episodes any good?
i wonder how your great grandchildren will feel when they are watching movies in which the brave islamic freedom fighters are using the strategy of martyrdom to stop the evil american dictators from conquering the world.
>alongside a modern soundtrack featuring artists such as PJ Harvey,
I was hooked when Sobel said he liked Spaghetti
Generation War
Vater uses regular "a" you dumbass
Isn't it only partly action?
The Pacific is inferior. You don't have the characterizations as good as you do in BoB, too much time is spent fucking around in Australia and places other then the actual war.
Its just all around not nearly as good.
Wrong on all accounts.
Good argument.
You're wrong! you're wrong! why why why won't you just admit I'm right you're wrong!!!
Fury is a good movie about a Sherman tank crew. The battles look a bit ridiculous, because they use ridiculous ammounts of tracer rounds, so at times it looks a bit like Star Wars.
On the other hand - it is the first movie since the 40's that uses an actual, proper Tiger tank (everyone else just uses T-34's or Shermans with cardboard armour or CGI) , the only functional one in the world. On the downside - the characters only survive the battle with the Tiger because the german crew is dumb, they should've slaughtered them.
Other than that - a good movie.
The best WWII kino of all time is Das Boot.
Downfall has been meme'd to death (the Hitler rage scene), but it is also a great film.
I never really liked BoB. It had some good acting, but it was too sentimental and romantic.
And the greatest generation bullcrap just felt ham-fisted.
Don't miss out on "A bridge too far".
Generation Kill for the modern contrast after watching Band of Brothers is really weird
Generation Kill is obviously the best
Most realistic (based David Simon and Ed Burns)
Funniest
Arguably best fights
Worst actor can be forgiven because he is literally playing himself
book is great too, screwby
The first episode was the GOAT, I don't remember much about the second episode, and the third was alright
Reyes?
...
It's more of a docu series with some minor reenactment scenes.
Still highly recommendable, even if it's just for the Ernst Jünger parts.
Generation War, for anyone wondering. Thanks for making me Google. Looks pretty good
mini-series really are the perfect length. every time i rewatch a tv series i always notice how the first couple of seasons seem tight and well conceived versus the remainder. shows run out of steam too quickly so it's best to wrap them up in fewer installments
You're forgiven for being off-topic because GK is god tier, but it ain't a World War I or II show.
Who else plays themselves?
yes I meant Rudy Reyes sorry for trying to meme and being unclear
Battle of Britain (1969) is purest kinography.
Real aeroplanes (apart from some remote control Stukas), they assembled an the 19th largest airforce in the world for it.
A young Ian McShane, Michael Caine, Lawrence Olivier, Sussanah York, Kurt Jurgens, Trevor Horward, Edward Fox etc.
Hitler rallies, orgiastic Hitler youth, "You can teach monkeys to fly better than that", "Silence - in Polish...strewth", "Don't dictate or threaten us until you're marching down Whitehall and even then we won't listen", "Spring chicken to shitehawk in one easy lesson" etc etc.
BoB is Ridley Scott's next project so if we've learned anything its that you should enjoy something before he shits all over it.
Literally a grammar nazi
