The lesson, then, seems to be that a hangover can bring out a good performance, whereas being stoned flattens your acting skills.

Watch the quick cuts during the "Daddy's Song" sequence, and you realize that they could still do some amazing things in film without the aid of computers.

Loved this movie as kid. The meta-joke about Wilfrid Brambell's character being "A clean old man" was lost on me until well into adulthood.

I'm surprised John Lennon never wrote a song about his mostly absent dad.

Who would have thunk that an article on Paraguay would get so many hits? But, 90% of the (probably military age) male population dead? Damn… damn…. DAMN, just think of that?

They actually filmed it in Switzerland. But Alpine Austria's pretty damn nice too.

I saw Generation War (Unsere Mütter, Unsere Väter) when it aired in Germany, and I thought it was very powerful. But don't be mislead by the advertising of "A German Band of Brothers". Both series are about the war, and that's about where the similiarities end. I was also surprised at the lukewarm reception it…

BTW, did you know they actually filmed it in Switzerland?

I half-share the sentiment on Piano Man, but why the intense hatred for harmonicas and accordions? God forbid if someone uses any instruments besides electric guitars…

Band of Brothers got so much right that the few things it got wrong really stand out, to me. One of those rare faults were that many of the actors struggled with the various regional American accents, or used the wrong one for their character. I admit, a Philadelphia accent is very hard to imitate (hence, Brooklyn…

That's funny… I seem to recall that my brother bought the game from a bargain bin a year or two after Atari's implosion. He paid a VERY small amount, something along the lines of $2, compared to the inital price of over $30. And to tell the truth…for $2, it certainly wasn't an awful game. Not the best game Atari…

Anyone else out there partial to the one where he tried to sell a cookbook to two starving Klondikers?

Not so much a single person, but an event- the drinking party near the begining of War and Peace. Mainly to see how a bunch of drunk Russian aristocrats managed to tie a policeman to the back of a bear and toss them both into the river. And to watch Dolokhov guzzle a whole bottle of hard liquor while leaning over…

Put the safety lock on the machine gun first and I'm in…

Even their dog would be fun to drink with.

"Oh, CK Dexter Haaaaaven!" The one line probably everyone remembers from that movie.

It would start off as a drink with Quint, but because he was a raging alcoholic in real life, your drinking session would end with a plastered Richard Harris.

Because he might shoot first.

Nick and Nora Charles from "The Thin Man" movie series. I can't imagine a more fun manner in which to while away the Great Depression.

Anyone remember the "George Washington" miniseries with Barry Bostwick from the 80s? I haven't seen them in years, so who knows how they would hold up today, but they were quite enjoyable at the time.
