Now that's commendable and the one act that would be most appreciated.

I've already started by watching the first 4 episodes of Band of Brothers. I'll watch the rest before the weekend is out, definitely.

I haven't watched Force 10 From Navarone yet, seems as good a time as any.

Others that I might throw in are:

Band Of Brothers
Black Hawk Down
The Longest Day
The Patriot
Patton
Pearl Harbor
Rescue Dawn

Or for comedy, maybe Tropic Thunder.

Recording The Longest Day on AMC on Memorial Day, it will be my first time watching it!!!

Awesome! Just won Band of Brothers sealed for $32 on eBay. Best part: seller is local, so I can pick it up this weekend in time for Monday.

Thank you, eBay.

I would really like to do a little Saving Private Ryan on BR. but i might be retired when that happens and im 29. lol

Some awesome suggestions in this thread....including chatting with some WW2 vets !

If I HAD the DVD or if it's coming out on Blu-ray, Saving Private Ryan's for me.

But then again, Across The Universe is nice.

We were soldiers and windtalkers....might go grab a copy of pearl harbor just for the weekend!

SPR has been a staple the past few years.

Also, Bridge on the River Kwai

I watched Valkyrie on blu-ray if that counts!

Just got done watching Kelly's Heros on TCM and watched To Hell And Back earlier today. I am going to watch Sergeant York next.

I'm not sure if that would count since it's Memorial Day in the U.S. and that's about Germans.
