great movie great seller was very professional cover and disk movie played very well
will buy more movies from this seller
The Dreams Lost Dreams Found on DVD was beautifully re-created, even the case was made with the originally-styled artwork. The playback was acceptable, considering that it probably had to be re-created from video tape. We are very happy with this! Thank you!
You told me it would work in the United States. The DVD does NOT work in Oregon, USA.
Very happy with my purchase. Will buy from you again. Thank you.
Brilliant. We have been trying to get this movie for ever. I will be getting more. Thank you
Exactly what I ordered. Love the case
The content was supposed to be 4:3 and it was stretched out.
Great story with a fantastic line up of the old school actors to focus on the facts

The image is perfect. Crisp and clear, like the store bought version. Only wish there was a DVD menu. There is play and that's it.
Everything was great ,of course the quality was like back then. I dont like the words across the screen. But overall ok,
Great price for a quality DVD.
A few dvds were skipping when playing. Orca was a bad copy and skipped and was paused for about 3 minutes and skipped a lot of the beginning of the movie. 3 or so of the other DVDs were skipping also. Not happy with the quality of these DVDs. Maybe watch to seeif they are a good copy before sending.
Never got the link to download? Paid for nothing
Happy with service and movie
Absolutely fantastic movie and came really quick and fantastic quality
Good ,would have liked more chuck norris kick arse
But with him being captain he had to tine it down.
Hmm, I don't know what you did to the first disk.
But I had to peel something off the disk and now my Blu-ray player's drawer won't open. I can't watch the second disk until I can get the first disk out. Was this some kind of joke? I'm not laughing...
I always liked the movie "Caroline?" & was pleased to finally find it on dvd!
happy with movie fast delivery as usual good picture
The movies I received three of them had scratches and they skipped scenes of the movies. Not too satisfied with this product. Try to do better with your products.
Great movie happy with purchase glad to do business with you
A great film within its context
The Longest Day works on several levels – the most obvious being the “don’t blink or you might miss several” nature of the Star-Studded cast. Much of the cast works very well (Sean Connery’s little comedy double act with Norman Rossington is an unexpected highlight). Some less so, and some is just downright tokenism – Rod Steiger getting all of 43 seconds on-screen for example. But overall, it’s always a watchable movie – beautifully shot.
Some previous comment have surprised me, particularly the assertion that The Longest Day is, in any way, a “pro-war” film. I’m not sure if there *is* such a thing, but if there is then The LOngest Day certainly doesn’t fall into this category – the scene of bewilderment between Richard Burton and Richard Beymer at the end about the confusion and directionlessness of war is the perfect example, ending with the memorable line “I wonder who won”.
I’m also surprised that a European reviewer should have accused this film, of all world war II movies, of being American propoganda. I wonder how many other WWII films include both German and (almost unqiuely) French perspectives of the war to such an extent that almost half of the dialogue in them is in a language other than English. I find the German sequences in The Longest Day to be amongst the most interesting historically and dramatically.
The film is certainly as accurate as it’s possible for a fictional movie to be – the list of advisors that it had working on it should prove that – including many people who are portrayed by actors in the movie itself. These include the characters played by Peter Lawford, Richard Todd and Kenneth More, along with several of the German field officers. Little touches that seem utterly out of place (like the nuns procession through the French village bringing a temporary ceasefire) are actually historically spot-on.
The final problem for the modern reviewer, of course, is the inevitable comparison between this film and Saving Private Ryan. But, as several other contributors have noted, SPR is not only the product of a different age with a different view of these events – historical as opposed to something which happened so recently that half of the audience are likely to have lived through them. But, ultimately, something usually forgotten about Operation Overlord is that Omaha Beach was merely one battle of a very long day indeed. Americans tend to focus on it because of the death toll, but the taking of Utah, Sword and Gold were just as important to the overall outcome. The Longest Day is a film about five beaches, many battles, and many men – some, as Richard Burton says, dead, some crippled and some lost. It is an anti-war film which proves that you can be anti-war and still celebrate and acknowledge heorism. The heroism of the young American and British troops, falling face-first into the salt water of the Normandy killing grounds. The incredible bravery of the Rangers who scaled the cliffs at Pointe du Luc on and, ultimately, meaningless mission. The heroism of the two Luftwaffe pilots commanded to face the invading armies alone, and who did so (another historically accurate point).
The Longest Day is a historic film about a historical event and it should be
