I read the book when it came out, and for Christmas this year I got the DVD set and watched all of it tthis weekend: totally awesome.
This DVD set should be required viewing for every American, if not every European. I heard they're making one on the Pacific War too: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374463/ , but it won't be out until 2009. BTW - anyone who loved BoB should read Pegasus Bridge by Ambrose. It's a quick read and really highlights how a small band of Brits, in close coordination with the French Resistance, helped save D-Day. Many argue that (1.) these Brits were first boots on ground on D-Day and, (2.) had their mission failed so would have D-Day: http://www.amazon.com/Pegasus-Bridge-Stephen-E-Ambrose/dp/0671671561/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-4624186-1503352?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1177332430&sr=8-1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
