IMHO, there are many reasons why BoB is so good and rewarding to watch multiple times.
Obviously it is a terrific true story. However, unlike many movie adaptations of historical events, BoB actually tells the many stories in a motion picture way, as opposed to having actors "relate" and "act" the events. BoB never forgot to tell the story, not merely shooting history.
The best example is the episode where they attack Foy. (excuse my faulty memory) In the heat of battle an officer is replaced. At the end of the episode, the Sgt. says to the Lt. something like "the men now have a leader" and the Lt. says "They had one all along". The Sgt. says "Who?". The Lt. says "you". That's when you realize the story being told in that episode was as much about the Sgt. as the events. They did this for every episode. That is why its compelling.
The casting of the actors is first rate and the directing/acting equally so. By every measure, this is a fine example of motion picture story-telling...the best way to educate is to engage the mind and the emotions.
Sorry for the bit of a ramble, but lets get w-a-y past the relatively truly minor inaccuracies and applaud its successful treatment of the truth in every sense of that word.
