My DH and I remembered 2 miniseries from the 80's that we'd enjoyed very much, Winds of War and War and Remembrance. While waiting on the Olympics to start and to stay far away from politics on TV, I ordered both on Amazon and gave them to him for Father's Day. We've been watching Winds of War first as it is the build up to WW II starting in 1939. It is 6 dvds about 2 hrs. each. War and Remembrance begins in 1941 with the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The cast is huge. Robert Mitchum has the starring role, Polly Bergen his wife, Ali MckGraw as the Jewish girl and on and on. It is so enjoyable, hard to stop watching, like a book you rush through because it's so good then are sorry when it ends. Fictional of course but also very historical. Interestingly, the War and Remembrance set was $152 but the Winds of War set only $24. At any rate, completely worth it. I love Amazon.
