If you are a history buff or like movies that deal with war, then you really MUST buy Band of Brothers. It is by far the best war movie (actually, it's a mini-series) that I've ever seen.

It's a docu-drama based on real characters and real events. It includes interviews with the actual soldiers who lived through the events depicted in the series. It will excite all your senses. Beware, even the most manly men will shed a few tears before finishing the series.

I borrowed it from a friend a couple years ago and was totally engrossed. I've been meaning to buy the set for myself, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
