Ideally something:
Free to watch because I am a cheap bastard (will pay if its a REALLY good one)
Something interesting, like you watched it and learned things you didn't already know
Something that goes into the military strategy of the war and how it was won
And/or something that will make you feel good about the county (not that I don't, just something to make you realize how badass the founders were)
Thanks!
There's a very well done, multi-disc docu-drama called 'John Adams' (played by Paul Giamatti).
Takes you through pre-war build-up, the actual war, and post war all the way up to Adams' death.
Extremely thorough and very entertaining.
on HBO, love it!
