Late to the party, and maybe this was said already...

HBO films...the series Band of Brothers... may not be a 2 hour movie (its like a 14 part mini-series) was EXCELLENT. for those that havent seen it...it follows a group of us 101st (I think) Airborne, Easy Company, from training, to being positioned in the UK, through D-day, and the end of the war.

Great thing is each episode was introduced with the actual guys (to include thier squad leader (2nd lt) who eventually became thier company commander). who fought in the battles.... VERY cool for realism, as well as very sobering when the soldiers found Berknau (spelling?) concentration camp near the end.
