Online delivery was excellent, however the movie quality was very low,360p or less.
Great DVD as expected !
Ich bin sehr froh, diesen Filmgefunden zu haben.In Deutschland bekam ich ihn nirgendwo.
Dvd is in excellent condition unfortunately I only received one and I paid for 2 . The package said 2 but only one DVD was included
I am thrilled to have gotten this movie very efficient fast service from this company. This movie is probably one of the closest to my hearts and my three sisters.Thank you so very much!
Received the DVD in good condition, and the quality of the movie was good! Will purchase more rare title movies in the future.
Difficult to find, worked great and priced right.
Great movie, have tried for a while to get a copy at a reasonable price
While war raged in England, expatriates in Kenya pursued a decadent lifestyle based on sex and booze. The ultimate outcome for the most aggressive player in this game was unexpected and completely shocking to the colonial swingers.
I had recorded the movie on to VHS when it was on tv many years ago then later to DVD from my VHS when the technology became available. The VHS recording was not that good so I appreciate the opportunity to purchase an excellent copy on DVD.
I am giving one star because I never received the DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great seller. Stumbled upon them by accident. Will steer away from ebay and more towards Rare and Collectible. Top shelf seller.
As far as the series goes. simply astounding. In the top three "westerns" I have ever seen. It will take you a bit to believe who you are seeing is Jeff Daniels. I can't recommend the series enough.
Bought the item 14 days ago and I’m still waiting for it to arrive. Email the company and still no reply
Not happy at all with the purchase
Fantastic quality and great prices!
So happy we found this website for old movies. Arrived in good shape and good time and we are enjoying them. Will probably order more!
I did not receive conformation of my order, tracking information or even an estimated date of delivery. The only information I received was an e-mail stating the order had been shipped about ten days after I placed the order, and this notification came a couple days after I had gone back to the site to see if I could get any information.. Lastly, I recall this being advertised as as new. It came in a hand made jacket.
I had an old VHS recording of the movie from the 1980s on TV. I was looking for a better quality version. Although this purchased version is better than what I had, it was only a little better. It was not the crisp DVD quality that I was hoping for. It appears to be VHS quality instead. It’s still my favorite Christmas movie.
Great movie
Love Begins DVD arrived quickly great value
Grateful for the thunderstruck dvd, loved that movie as a kid. Basic story line but about a great band and mate ship
Quality not amazing but shipping was fast
Great movie sadly, subtitles would have been helpful for those of us who don't understand German.
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
