Winner of two 1962 Oscars® (Special Effects and Cinematography) The Longest Day ranks as one of Hollywood's truly great war films.System Requirements:Running Time: 263 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: NR UPC: 024543234647 Manufacturer No: 2233464 Amazon.com: After seeing Saving Private Ryan, this epic tale about the Normandy invasion will look sanitized. But in its re-creation of events leading to the epochal battle, the film is captivating and grand, and the parade of famous actors who cross the screen naturally give the already charged action even more of a boost. Three directors worked on it: Ken Annakin (Battle of the Bulge), Andrew Marton (Crack in the World), and Bernhard Wicki (this film being his only credit). --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - My favorite war movieOther than the James Bonds, this is my favorite film and my favorite war film. I remember seeing it at my local theater at age 13 in 1963, a year after its first run reserved-seat engagement on Broadway. I watch it every June 6th. and have yet to tire of it. Starring John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, Henry Fonda, Richard Burton and a pre-Dr. No, Sean Connery, among numerous others. (The only film I can think of with a better cast is probably "How the West Was Won.) The film had three directors ...

It has great action and fine actors through out the movie. It is on blu-ray with great picture detail but sound is not quite 5.1 nor is it colorized. I think it should be remastered with color (colorized) and with 5.1 sound added. Thus it is why I rate it at 3 out of 5. Rating:  - Why oh Why is this Region LockedI find it incredible that a film that was made in 1962 and is about how our two country's came together in battle has been released with the Region locked, what justification can there be, that the US gets the film, but we in Europe can't buy it, I can understand if it was a new film but come on, made in 1962, a film about europe, stars many european stars of the day, a conflict we shared but I can't buy it in the UK, this stinks, so much for investing in Blue-Ray at least HDDVD was region free. Rating: - the longest day This is a great film for the events that happened on D-Day. I wish they had John Wayne in the 101st, oh well still a great movie Rating: - Arguably the best war movie ever madeSome critics agree with me -- this is one of the very best. I first time I saw this movie was shortly after it was released, and it continues to hold my attention 40+ years later. While some may think it's boring, not enough action ... well, that's the way war is. This movie shows the complicated planning and thought that went into the D-Day invasion. The hours upon hours of boredom. And then suddenly, you get the word to go. There is confusion, stupidity, heroism ... it shows it all. ... Read More |
