This 10-part HBO television mini series focuses on Easy Company, a group of American soldiers in World War II, tracking their experiences from the beginning of boot camp to the end of the war. Anchored by actors Damian Lewis and Ron Livingston, the series gives detailed attention to their experiences as a group, as well as the way that each of them develops individually. Based on historian Stephen E. Ambrose's book of real-life accounts, Band of Brothers was executive produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, who worked together on Saving Private Ryan. Hanks also directed one episode, featuring his son, Colin Hanks. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)

Band of Brothers (2001) 

English A Saving Private Ryan movie stretched over ten hours? Nope. Because Brotherhood is better than Ryan. It goes into more depth (which makes sense given that it has so much time and characters to do so), is more believable, and especially after I read the book, it became unbeatable for me. The Tom Hanks-directed episode is clearly the best. ()
