I remember The Winds of War miniseries (1983) more clearly, and remember it as an excellent big budget production war drama with the prominent character being Robert Mitchum and his wife. The musical theme was intense and memorable, and I was very into the series, despite it's very adult themes. I would probably consider it the best modern war series I ever saw, though there really hasn't been a great number of them.
And I remember not caring for the War and Remembrance sequel miniseries. I seem to remember it was much more contrived, preachy and the relationships were shallow, certainly compared to the complexity of Winds.

Both WOW and WAR were stellar, but I think the latter is better; just found Ali McGraw and Jan-Michael Vincent so incredibly annoying and although Hart Bochner wasn't any bargain either, think Jane Seymour was very good.
TALES FROM THE CRYPT (1972). Along with ASYLUM, my favorite Amicus production...so much fun and such a great cast. Do hate to see Peter Cushing's character suffer because of the little asshole across the street. Just feel a surge of adrenaline when "Little". gets his comeuppance.
Favorite story is "All Through the House"...Joan Collins was way hot during this period and she really carries it through. Found the "ATTH" from HBO to be all but unwatchable. ****
