| Did you like Saving Private Ryan? If so this is just as good, and 12 hours or so worth of watching. |

Yea that was a great movie.
Band of Brothers is a series correct? Like a box set or something?

You moron, he plays an asshole that everyone hates through the whole series! You are missing out bro. BoB is too awesome not to watch.
Not really a documentary, but I like watching the show Dogfights on the History channel. If you like warplanes, check it out.

| Band of brothers was fucking EPIC i think they said each episode's set was 3 times as big as saving private ryan's entire set. IMO best war series ever done. |

Not watching a 12 hour WWII semi-documentary movie because you don't like one of the male characters is fucking HO-MO. Are you afraid you'll like him too much in a uniform?
If you've got another 12 hours or so, Cosmos by Carl Sagan.
By far the most surprising and fascinating documentaries was the PBS one on Mormons. Holy shit, started watching that and couldn't stop. It may not sound like much, but like I said, possibly the very most interesting and informative documentaries I've come across. |

The King of Kong.
Story of a guy trying to set the record for highest score on Donkey Kong, and the previous record holder being a dick about it.
About 20 minutes in you'll figure out it's not a Mockumentary, and actually 100% real.
Then you will not be able to pull yourself away :) |
