Can we have some other conflicts please? I guess the big budgets always goto the ones where America is the most involved (WWII, Vietnam)
I'd like an HBO miniseries on the 20 Years War, the War of 1812, Both Boer Wars, Falklands War, WWI, Korean War, etc.

i think it's because WWII was and is such a good narrative. what other war can you think of where it was truly good vs. evil? you don't get much more evil than Hitler and Nazi death camps. it was a war that needed to be fought, unlike many other famous conflicts. for example i have a hard time getting into any Vietnam movie since it was such a pointless war
