Now, I haven't seen Band of Brothers yet. But, this is a list for "greatest war movie", and Band of Brothers is technically not a movie at all, but a miniseries.
That seems trivial to me. The medium is the same, the presentation is the same. If they took EVERY episode and condensed them into 3-4 movies all under the title Band of Brothers 1/2/3/4 then you would be OK with it? Or would the individual movies have to be considered separately even though its all a retelling of a group of men's experiences in the WW2 European theater, and presented chronologically?

As far as I'm concerned, it's a movie, it's just serialized instead of told all at once. If you watch it straight through, it basically reads as a really long movie.

Getting down to it now. Seems people have lost interest though. Can't say I blame them, this has turned out both more grueling than I thought, and has made for some very odd votes.

Samp, I was hesitant to count your second ‘after midnight’ vote, but I did. Even with mountain time, you still made both your votes on the same day, but you hadn’t voted for a couple days, so I let it go.

Was there an add cutoff? Cause if there isn't I think The Audie Murphy Story is going to pop up tomorrow.

Cutoff was made at the request of various participants. There will be a very accelerated round two for new movie additions when this round gets to a final three.
