How many times have you watched Band of Brothers? - Blu-ray Forum

gnphiker · 07-08-2010, 03:58 PM

I know at least 5 times with my DVD set and old 32" Sony VVega. Just started watching my new Blu-ray set purchased off eBay for $33, via my 50" Samsung Plasma and its like watching the series like never having seen it. The wife is even impressed.

Once, and on Blu-ray. I had just wanted to finally see it. I then sold the set to my dad.

iam1bearcat · 07-08-2010, 04:20 PM

i may get flack for this, but i watched it once, and probably won't again.
i'm actually considering selling it because i'm in the mindset of "only buying / keeping films that i'll watch on a regular basis" and BoB doesn't fall into that category.

amazing series? of course.
but, for me, not much replay value.

Twice on the history channel, 4 or 5 times on DVD, once on HD DVD (my dad owns the Japanese import), and twice on BD.

I just watched through the set for the 7th time, its a masterpiece and hands down, an essential top notch set. Firefly is the only set I have that has gotten more playtime.

Once on History HD, once on BD, and watching it again right now on BD.

I watch it once a year - usually around July 4 or Memorial Day.

Seems like Spike TV plays Band of Bros every holiday. I always end up watching at least a few episodes.

SkillzthatKillz · 07-09-2010, 12:05 AM

I never did watch it on HBO (didn't have a subscription back then). I probably watched it 6-7 times on DVD though and have watched it once on Blu-ray (so far

). I normally watch the whole series once a year in the winter

Only watched it once (on BD) but will probably rewatch in a year or two and may lend to my brother when he gets a Blu ray player.

I got it on Blu for $4.98 + $2.98 new/sealed when a third-party vendor was unloading a bunch of copies on Amazon.

I've watched it from beginning to end about 3 times.

SuperSnarky · 12-18-2011, 02:40 AM

Once, I'll watch it again.

BoB is the one of the greatest pieces of our bluray collection. amazing.

If anyones a fan of Wild Bill on the show he still sells autographed books on his site. google Wild Bill Guarnere. crazy that so few of these guys are still around.

Wow! I've never seen any episodes at all, but I just ordered it for $17.99, and thought that was a hell of a deal, but $5? That's insane!

Never seen it, although I did just buy the follow up The Pacific this week from Best Buy.

Bunker · 12-24-2011, 05:43 PM

I've watched it several times a year ever since I got the DVD set in 2003. I love BoB to death.
