Dirs: Tom Hanks, Philip Alden Robinson, Mikael Salomon, David Nutter, David Leyland, David Frankel, Tony To
This immense achievement follows Easy Company from D-Day until the end of the war, and is interspersed with interviews of surviving participants. Reportedly cost producers Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg over 100 million, followed their collaboration on Saving Pvt Ryan, and is now perhaps the best docudrama ever. The D-Day parachute drop sequence alone is probably the best war footage yet produced. Worthy of its length, each part is a different film, hence the overall consistency may appear uneven to the most discerning, but that's a triviality. This is an all-time top 10! 6 Emmys for 19 nominations
