I'm a big fan. Read the book 2x. Watched the mini-series 5 or 6 times.
Just picked it up in Blu Ray so I'll probably watch it again real soon.

Here's a momento from the filming that hangs in our den.

I've seen episode #1 and # 2 only once. The rest about 8 times. I always miss the beginning when they have it on TV.

I guarantee you I've seen every episode at least 20 times each and some of them as many as probably 30 times. if it's on, I'm watching it. I also have all the episodes on the DVR and own the DVDs.

Probably about 12, plus I just started it again on "D-Day" and I'm about to watch episodes 9 & 10. Now (I'm prepared for all the boos) but I've watched The Pacific about 6 times! While it's not "BoB" by any means I like it also! I also have watched "Saving Private Ryan and Flags of our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima at least 6 times!" My dad served in WWII at Gaudacanal and Okinawa so I love all things WWII! I watch the young men (and women) portrayed in these films and I think, "my parents were experiencing these things during this period in history"

Footnote. Neither of my parents would ever watch these films with me. My late father's opinion was "I lived it once, I don't care to revisit it!"

I have not kept track of the number of times I have seen it. I am looking for the DVD. I saw one that had all the episodes but forgot to pick it up on the way out. Saving Pvt Ryan is also one of my favorites. I got to watch some of the filming of Sands of Iwo Jima at Camp Pendelton when I was a kid and list that as a favorite too.

Not sure, but less than I'd like. I don't own the series and only catch it on tv normally. I may have netflixed it though.

Too many times to count. Some of the parts more than others.

Twice so far. Had to watch it when it came out on Blu-Ray. Pacific was good, but it got a bit long-winded in dialog at some points.

Not sure... A few times. My wife bought me the Blu-Rays a couple years ago for an anniversary present, so I watched it again. I'd have to say between 5-10 times.

I will be honest,
i have never seen it. have never seen private ryan either. or letters from iwo, or just about any WW2 movies made after 1970.

A bunch. Too many to count. I've got it on DVD. The wife got it for me a few years back when she was in Cali.

Band of Brothers is pretty much what is on in my shop any time I'm wrenching together a new Garand. Also when I'm getting gear ready for an event or cleaning up my gear after a WWII blankfire event. Kinda like a video version of 'mood music' for playing with my WWII toys.

Oh, I would say several thousand starting at age 12. Used to do it several times a week. I still do it every now and then. Probably why I need glasses. The Priest told my friend he would go blind. Scared the demons out of him.

Got the DVD and watch it often-- at least 2 times all the way through. I enjoy any WWII movie especially the old classics over and over!

Remember when The Pacific was on and we all punked Sean? That was great. All those posts about how incredible it was and Sean carrying on about how it $ucked, and how it was the worst cr@p he'd ever seen. Funny.

I had planned on doing a hitch in the Army but watching Band of Brothers directly resulted in my becoming a Paratrooper. If I ever meet Tom Hanks I am going to punch him in the stomach. Jumping out of a plane with 130 pounds is not nearly as cool as he made it look! Haha. I watched the Pacific for the first time last summer in Afghanistan with my Old First Sergeant. I happen to be a 60mm Mortarman myself so every time one of the Mortarman in the Pacific would do something he crazy he would just look at me and make a comment about how little has changed.
