VHS Movie Reviews of The Longest Day [VHS]

Movie Review: Great movie - inferior version
Summary: 4 Stars

I gave four stars because I think the movie itself deserves five, but this DVD version only deserves three. This is a great classic for all the reasons mentioned in other reviews - Great performances, excellent script, and the engrossing telling of a many-faceted historical story in a coherent manner. This DVD version has its problems, however. On the plus side, I like it because the subtitles are below the actual film, thus not impacting the movie itself. On a TV, this means that you need to use the clearer (but smaller) 4/3 aspect instead of "zooming" or using "full screen" or you miss the sub-titles. This may bother some, but I found it an advantage. On the negative side, at times I found the picture too dark to clearly see what was going on. Also, there were no real special features except theatrical trailers. With such a big, detailed historical film, this is a big disappointment, as more background on both the events and the making of the film would be very helpful. I will probably eventually "trade up" to blu-ray.

Movie Review: Gang Oh and Stome that beach
Summary: 5 Stars

What Stars and what action. Any collector of war movies, like me have to have this gold standard movie for their collection. I saw the movie in the theatre when I was a kid and it wow me, then any Harry Potter would ever could. I seen a colorized version, but love the black and white one. This movie never gets old. It get better with age. Even if all the stars are gone.

Movie Review: Longest Day - an epic movie
Summary: 5 Stars

I had seen this movie when I was a teenager and it first came out. It was a great movie then and holds even more meaning as I have learned more about my fathers job during D-Day. The movie has great picture quality which I did not expect. One of the great movies about the landing on Normandy and Omaha Beach.
