I don't know if any of you like historic movies or TV series, but this series is exceptional. I believe there are 14 movies in the series total.
Plot as far as I've seen it (4 episodes): Set during the Napoleanic Wars in Spain. English Private Sharpe saves Wellington's life, get's a battlefield promotion to a Lieutenant. After that he's fighting to retain it and to get a promotion further up the ranks, by going on dangerous missions and such. Quite entertaining and I recommend the series.
Also watched the 3 episodes of The Scarlet Pimpernel (sp?), set during the French Revolution...wasn't as entertaining as Sharpe's Company though.

I've actually seen the whole series, I thought it was pretty good. Sean Bean for the win, indeed.
