5 out of 5 stars The Right Stuff    January 6, 2009
Minnie Scott (Texas)
This is one of all-time favorite movies. It arrived as promised. I give it an "A."


5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Epic    December 13, 2008
M. McGowan (Rantoul, IL)
I can say little more to praise this film than has been said before. It was the sort of product to which modern film-makers should aspire. A grand epic made more fantastic by the fact that its true. Well written, masterfully portrayed, and beautifully scored, this is a must have for any true videophile.


2 out of 5 stars Poor Packaging    September 13, 2008
LARRY E. THOMPSON (Titusville, FL)
I've had this movie on VHS for years and decided I would like to have a DVD version. The movie is outstanding and will always be a classic. However, this DVD lacks in quality of packaging. They have recorded both sides of one DVD rather than making it a 2-DVD version. The case is the cheapest kind you can find. I saw this package in the Walmart 2/$10 bin one time and didn't buy it because it was so cheaply packaged. I would recommend the 2-DVD version sold by TvBoxset, even if it is more expensive.


5 out of 5 stars Really the Right Stuff....    August 18, 2008
Jessica M. Landreth
This is one of those movies that provides such valuable prospective, that even 25, 30 years after the movie was released, it still stands as one those movies you not only remember, you find you reference and watch over and over again. Read the book first, and then watch the movie, as certain references make more sense, but if you love learning about America's entry into the space race, and still more the Mercury Program, this is for you. It should be noted here that it is not just about the space program, but also about the Air Force, and Chuck Yeager, who broke multiple records while flying for the Air Force. There is SO much more I could say, but seeing the movie (and reading the book by Tom Wolfe) are the biggest things I could say. The cast is beyond anything you could create today: Ed Harris, Dennis Quaid, Barbara Hershey, Jeff Goldblum, Sam Shepard, Lance Henriksen, I could go on. Watch it, but plan on buying it. Enjoy!!


5 out of 5 stars great movie!    July 10, 2008
Janet Colletti (New Orleans, LA United States)
This is a movie about pioneers and explorers in our time. The story really lets you see how it must have all looked and felt in the eyes - and hearts - of the American men who first reached the stars. It all really came alive for me in this movie. I watch it over and over!
