Did youwatch any movies in hornor of D-Day?

[PKerr]

I know I’m over 10 days late with this thread but has anyone broken out those old/new War Movies in honor of D-day?

I watch (for the first time) The Longest Day.
I also broke out the Band of Brothers Box set and saving Private Ryan.

So did you watch anything?

Longest Day. TBS ran it. Caught most of it around BBQing.

Saving Private Ryan and The Longest Day.

Not this year but on the 60th anniversary I bought Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers. I also bought the book Juno Beach.

My son and I watched "Band of Brothers", and just wrapped up last night. There was an interruption as he sustained an injury at a friend's graduation party. Ironically, once we got back to the series, my son said that it made is broken collarbone seem far less painful.

An amazing.... incredible mini-series. I almost couldn't get through "Why We Fight".

No, but I assaulted a beach.

It is an incredible series.
I am on my 5th view of it now and I still enjoy every minute of it.
I think I enjoy it more now than the first time I saw it.

I started watching BoB and I am up to Bastogne. Amazing series.

Watched everything mentioned. I was surprised that there hasn't been a modernized remake of the Longest Day, particularly with the success of BoB and Private Ryan.

I didn't watch anything but I did tape Band of Brothers off the History Channel. Never seen it before. Started watching it today, finished the first 4 episodes so far. Excellent.
