I asked my Grandad that, he served in the British Royal Navy on HMS Belfast (currently a museum ship on the Thames) and he said no, everyone on the ship was a hero.
It's definitely been a go-to for me over the years. Full of nostalgia for the show itself too. Watched it as a teenager when it was shown on TV here in Ireland for the first time. For me, True Detective is the best single season of TV I've ever watched, but Band of Brothers has a special place in my heart.
I watched it " live" as it went to air around 2001. I then brought the DVD of the complete series - inc the special DVD that interviews the men of Easy as they were back in 1999/2000. I think I have viewed it 10 or more times. Love it and those men of Easy.
Funny moment was when Luz impersonated Major Horton's voice Sobel fell for it and the guys on his back knew the assignment 😂 Best moment for me was when the surrender German officer gave a speech and Liebgott translated it
Even all these years later, whenever i see these actors in a movie or TV show I can't help but think of the characters they played in this phenomenal show.
We have a welding supply place in my town, Sobol Welding. Sobel is Lobos spelled backwards, the name of the high school mascot. Matthew McCounaghy was graduated here and Forrest Gregg was born here.
David Schwimmer was so good playing Sobel. When I first saw BOB, I kept thinking of Ross in Friends, which hampered my ability to see him as Sobel, but now - years later - that isn't the case. Of course, the whole cast was outstanding!
Along with The Sopranos my favourite tv series ever. Watch it every year and never ever seizes to amaze me. Ten of the best episodes ever made and can’t believe it’ll be 25 years old soon
My God, now you say it, it really has been nearly 25 years... Where has time gone? Never seen anything like this again, still loving to view it yet against, at least once a year...
@@metalrocker627 the best part is the series itself, i meant except the interview. the presentation, the acting, the cinematography was way too good. I just liked the series
This is one of the BEST miniseries based on WWII ever made IMO. The fact that it was based on a true story, and real people, makes it that much better. The screenplay was magnificent. EVERY actor was outstanding in their portrayal of the these tough and courageous men who made history, and defeated fascism in Europe. This is a timeless CLASSIC.
I can't even imagine what these Heroes went through, experienced and sacrificed...I know it was a long time ago, I was not even born then. But each time I watch this movie,...and I watch it many times, I cry for them all! It's as if, I wanted to be there and whatever I can help them with..Thank you for all their Sacrifices and Service so we may have peace. I feel especially for those Heroes that didn't get to come home. I Love them all. God bless your Souls. Thank you for this movie. Thank you all for making this movie possible. Thank you to each and everyone. God bless you all.🙏 Love you all guys...💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
This is one of the only pieces of film/tv I will ever say, "everyone should see this". This series is the perfect depiction of bravery, character, comradery, and American spirit.
AWWWW MAN! How can you not include the famous moment when Major Richard Winters says to Captain Herbert Sobel, "Captain Sobel, we salute the rank, not the man"? Everybody felt that!
This was one of the most enjoyable, moving, memorable TV shows I have ever seen. I couldn't stop watching it. I felt like I was one of the guys by the end.
One of my favorite HBO series. The music, the acting.. It still gives me goose bumps.. I loved how the "interviewees" were actually Easy Company soldiers. I checked and they've all passed on- the entire company. RIP.
Amazing series, just finished watching on Netflix last night. Can’t believe it took me this long to watch it in its entirety. Easily the best war drama in any media I’ve ever seen.
Never will I forget band of brothers my son watched it with me it’s phenomenal piece of a series I have the upmost admiration for the young men who fought in the wars and I will never forget.
Imo we need another series like this with the same production value and all. I freaking love this series cause it gives you a look into how things was in the war (ofc minus hollywood influence, but they made sure that it was not to much of that). This series is a true salute to the people that served and fought in WW2 imo.
I think BOB was the best mini series ever which gave us an account of what these brave soldiers went through. There were a lot of brave people during WWII. Some unsung heroes like the British and American spies who where dropped into France. The four women spies who were caught by the Germans and executed. One by an injection and having thought she was dead burnt her but she was still alive. Just brings home man’s inhumanity to man. I know Easy company was just telling their experiences of war and they will never be forgotten. RIP men of Easy Company, a company of Heroes🇬🇧🇺🇸🙏
this war drama hat quite a lot of funny moments and it is moments like these that make characters and stories feel authentic. Some war movies just focus on the terror and sadness of the terrible events war but especially in the face of so much adversity and death soldiers had a good sense of - often pretty dark - humor. you had to in order to cope with things.
Just finished watching this gem earlier this morning. I binged it and finished it at 3AM. It goes without saying, but they were the greatest generation. Winters was the pinnacle of a leader: calm, collected and calculated. He didn't pick favorites and led by example. He earned and commanded the respect of all of his men. I don't think you'll find a better example of a leader in wartime than Winters, Spiers and company.
Whenever I have a difficult day, I watch a bit of Band of Brothers it inspires me and puts my circumstances in perspective. God bless the men and women that serve around the world to keep democracy alive.
Muahahaha soldiers serving to keep democracy alive, what a bad joke. They serve the interests of very rich and very powerful people. Freedom and democracy were always an extermely bad excuse and justification for dummies. Hegemony and geostrategy are the real names of the game.
Absolutely one of the best series to ever be on TV. It captures the heart, strength, spirit and personalities of THE GREATEST GENERATION. They are/were the best of us.
My grandpa was at pearl harbor, Guadalcanal and other battles. They were men that did this for the right reason and were men of honor. We have lost that in this country
Love this series. Pity we still fight wars that scar so many. And it's always the young ones that are sent to the frontlines to die, decided by old people that never put one foot on the battlefield. "Imagine a king that fights his own battles. Wouldn't that be a sight".
The real enemy more often than we think turns out not to be the guys on the other side who we don't even know nor have a personal vendetta against, but the guys in a suit and tie back home who put us in the battlefield to begin with. The pen IS mightier.
watched this for the first time recently and i gotta say it was good but i found it to be pretty overrated definitely great moments but there are so many characters it becomes hard to keep track of most of the names and character motivations. i thought chernobyl was a cut above, that show is a masterpiece
Band of Brothers is well worth watching. My Grandpa in the Army during World War II and served from September 1943 to October 1945. Then he was drafted for the Korean War but I don't know the dates. He ended up passing away at the age of 87.
After years of going through all that, i can imagine it would be your identity. I can only imagine through a different experience how hard it would be to reintegrate back into the "normal" world after all that.
My mother was an American Red Cross girl who was "up front" from Normandy to meeting up with the Soviet Army in Czechoslovakia. I grew up hearing every one of the stories told in this series, almost to the letter. A great story.
My mother was a 7-year-old girl in Germany when WWII ended. Just like shown in Band of Brothers, she was kicked out by American troops from the place where she and her family lived. However, those soldiers noticed that her mother (my grandmother) was a modest woman, a war widow with 3 young children. When they left, they placed a bunch of food that was hard to find for Germans in a couple of cabinets for the family. A very moving story.
When I do finally retire, my Day of Days will be spent watching Band of Brothers, The Sopranos and Entourage...along with an insane amount of Golf of course.
Absolute cinematic excellence,all based on the truth ,never forget what sacrifices that generation gave to protect freedom, liberty ,WE ARE FOREVER INDEBTED ,ALWAYS REMBEMBER THEM ,ESPICIALLY TO THOSE WHO GAVE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE!!!!!!!!
"...and each would have to join the world as best they could" and in just a matter of 5 years we would be right back at it again. War, War never changes.
Well, HBO really missed the German General's Speech scene to his men in the episode, "Points". What made that episode more unique to the rest of the episodes was how it humanizes the Germans after fighting them in so many campaigns.
man, i can't imagine what the feeling must've been at the end, hearing the war was over. having to split away from all the brothers you fought, cried, consoled, struggled with for the last 1, 2, 3, 4 years.
@@BoxStudioExecutive Why would they have joined an army before they were in a war? There was no draft, no conscripted soldiers at that time. It was only professional recruits in American forces. America was not drawn into the war until Pearl Harbour and unless that had happened had no intention of. They were content to proft from the war through lend/lease rather than have moral fortitude. Edit. Conscription started 2 months before Pearl Harbour.
@@BoxStudioExecutive I know plenty. I just had to make a minor correction. It still means that they weren't even in the war for four years though and the vast , vast ,vast majority of conscripts didn't enter training until after Pearl Harbour.
All you guys wanting to see another "Band of Brothers" style show, I recommend "The Civil War" written by Shelvy Foote and filmed by Ken Burns. Greatest War documentary BEFORE Band of Brothers!
Пересмотрел уже 3 раза этот сериал! Очень реалистично. Тихий океан тоже интересен. Мировые сериалы! В России есть только два моих любимых фильма "Живые и мертвые" и его продолжение "Возмездие". И да спасибо за Ленд Лиз
“Were you a hero in the war, Grandpa? No, but I served in the company of heroes.” Brings a tear to the eye. Every single time.
I asked my Grandad that, he served in the British Royal Navy on HMS Belfast (currently a museum ship on the Thames) and he said no, everyone on the ship was a hero.
No, but I played Company Of Heroes
He was a hero , among them all. Also brings a tear to my eye
I legit teared up when he said that.
Where’s this quote from?
Winters’ voiceover in the last episode always gets me. Damian Lewis did such an amazing job in that role.
Everybody did. I was actually impressed how Schwimmer portrayed Sobel since I knew him only from Friends.
He’s one actor for a role that should never ever be changed. No one would ever portray Major Winters as well as he did.
@@oz_jones I wonder why his performance was panned by critics when it first came out, though. I think he did a great job as Sobel
By far the best tv show ever! I stopped counting the times I have watched it and I know that I’ll watch it again.
Looks really good from the acting and performances alone
And it still gets better each and every time
It's definitely been a go-to for me over the years. Full of nostalgia for the show itself too. Watched it as a teenager when it was shown on TV here in Ireland for the first time.

I was going to comment the same. Every time I see a clip of the show, I crave to watch the whole show again!
Best moments of Easy Company is never complete without "We're Paratroopers Lieutenant, we're supposed to be surrounded!"
Nuts to them!!!
Funny moment was when Luz impersonated Major Horton's voice Sobel fell for it and the guys on his back knew the assignment 😂

Everytime I see Damian Lewis, I always think of him as Major Winters.
Every time i see an episode of Orville, I see Malarkey.
@@GAMBANJUJJJabsolutely yess. Malloy aka Malarkey
@@JosuaBatubara Everytime I watch billionares. I still can't help but think of his role here.
Same goes for breaking bad.
Every time I see Aaron paul in anything, I think.
"Jessseeeee!!!!
So that's where you've been since El Camino!"
“Is there a problem, Captain Sobel?!” 😂 greatest line in television
We have a welding supply place in my town, Sobol Welding. Sobel is Lobos spelled backwards, the name of the high school mascot.

"Why We Fight" is the single most incredible episode of TV history.

Blah, one of the more boring episodes honestly.
Yes it is
@@Baconatorz No.

ABSOFUCKENLUTELY!!
One of the best to come out of Hbo
I believe Apple took over production from HBO a few years ago. I'm sure Tom Hanks Greyhound movie through Apple had influence on the deal
@@andrewsbbq Could you explain a little more? Thanks!
The best show I’ve ever watched. It’s been a decade since I’ve seen it, but I still adore it
Best series I have ever seen, watched the whole series multiple times, bloody brilliant.
Along with The Sopranos my favourite tv series ever. Watch it every year and never ever seizes to amaze me. Ten of the best episodes ever made and can’t believe it’ll be 25 years old soon

This is probably the best show ever made it is both accurate,funny and it shows the realities of war it also never get old
This series has been so important to me. These men have become my roles models. I strive to conserve what they fought for.
Easy Company messing with Sobel is too funny. And I love this miniseries soooo much. Watch it every single year.
I watched bob when i was 19 and it shocked my soul. Now im watching it with my 6 year old son. How time flies.
I think the interviews with the real life heroes are the best part of this show!
I disagree

A fantastic drastic production fro m start to finish.
Simply the greatest series, ever and in memory of some remarkable young men.

Seen the whole series 3x.... can easily see it 3 more times and enjoy it. Amazing series with amazing actors.
Only three times?.......rookie.
