| When I saw the movie originally the opening scene was one of the most memorable even put on screen and captured the horror, fear and determination in those 20 plus minutes unlike any other, with portions that would make you cringe.
And yes the movie is not perfect, especially since it had to live up to the opening scene, but overall it was still very good with more scenes that worked than didn't. Yes some were poor, and the ending left something to be desired and did not live up to ... Read More: |

| I've seen this movie a thousand times on DVD. It is a geniusly orchestrated and well directed movie, full of action, romance and aesthetic beauty.
But I will tell you I bought the Blu-Ray expecting it to be an even more breathtaking experience but was HORRIFIED from the result. The contrast was so high I could see the pixels blinking (more like dancing) in the cloudy backgrounds and on the actors skin. It was SO distracting, I could not concentrate on the movie's content. I tried messing ... Read More: |

| This Midway DVD is fabulous. The sound is awesome, the cast is exceptional, and it is historically correct. As a Navy wife, I loved it as much as Walking Through Fire, An Iwo Jima Survivor's Remembrance |

| PATTON is simply a great,great motion picture for reasons that have been discussed and written about for nearly 40 years--having purchased all the other video versions,I felt a bit irresponsible placing an order for yet another edition:BLURAY.We ARE duped a little, in that disc 2 is simply the normal DVD from the previous 2-disc set added to the BLURAY package--kinda a ripoff...no,definatly a ripoff. But the BLURAY transfer is stunning, and if you love this film alot, as I do, you will eventually forget how pathetic it ... Read More: |

| This movie has always been one of my favorites.
It tells and shows a lot of things and in some moments it can even make me drop a tear. It is a very good movie but also very sad. It is definitely a must see , and i can nothing else but recommend it! - Andreas |

| THE LONGEST DAY is one of the last great spectacle films produced during the era of Darryl Zanuck's reign at 20th Century-Fox. This startling new BLURAY version stunts and makes obsolete all previous editions! The film never looked or sounded better.Interesting and informative commentary by historian Mary Corey is screen specific and almost 100% continuous.A treat to finally see it this way! "Saving Private Ryan" (35 years more modern, technology-wise) has it's MOMENTS, but this film is more satisfying and engaging overall from ... Read More: |

| "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." -Samuel Johnson
"Democracy is messy." -Donald Rumsfeld This movie is childish. I don't mean it's a children's movie. I mean it is conceived at the mental and emotional level of a twelve-year-old boy and meant to be enjoyed by adults. That doesn't bother me. Almost all blockbusters are. What bothers me is how Emmerich, Gibson & co. presume to use one of the most important events in the history of mankind to enact the same cliche-filled melodramatic ... Read More: |

| Classic - action story - can very much be related to current issues in the Middle East today - tribes fighting tribes and their inability to get along at many times except to come together to fight a common enemy.
Great spectacular larger than life scenes. The original Lawrence was an odd, short and not very handsome man, Peter O'Toole is so beautiful, it is hard to take your eyes off him. He is a big breathtaking in his white robes. I've heart the book that he wrote "The Seven Pillars" is better than the movie, and I've gotten that ... Read More: |
