On HBO, from Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. Similar to "Band of Brothers" but focusing on 3 Marines in the Pacific during World War II. Looks outstanding.

Also, if you get the chance read the biography of Gunnery Sgt. John Basilone. He requested a return to the Pacific theater after being awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions on Guadalcanal. Medal of Honor winners previously were not returned to combat. He was granted his request and was killed during the first day of action on Iwo Jima.
