5 out of 5 stars BLURAY bliss for a classic WWII "Fox" spectacle from DFZ    January 4, 2009

THE LONGEST DAY is one of the last great spectacle films produced during the era of Darryl Zanuck's reign at 20th Century-Fox. This startling new BLURAY version stunts and makes obsolete all previous editions! The film never looked or sounded better.Interesting and informative commentary by historian Mary Corey is screen specific and almost 100% continuous.A treat to finally see it this way! "Saving Private Ryan" (35 years more modern, technology-wise) has it's MOMENTS, but this film is more satisfying and engaging overall from top to bottom,for sure.


5 out of 5 stars A true epic    December 23, 2008
Pastor of Disaster (Wexford, Ireland)
I often wonder when watching this film how the director manages to undertake such a huge undertaking. The scale of this film is incredible and the amount of back-stories incorporated into the tale from Burtons injured pilot to Waynes gung-ho C.O. Obviously every facet of the D-Day invasion could not be covered, but this film makes a good effort at chronicling one of the most important days in world history in a reasonably accurate and unsentimental way. I still get a shiver down my neck when the German officer in the pillbox sees the invasion fleet through his binoculars and strives to convince his superiors of the threat as his position is being shelled. There are many many many crappy war films out there, but this one does justice to those who were there and fought for the freedoms we enjoy today.

Michelle M. Plushanski (asbury, NJ United States)
I thought this movie was alwsome it shows what it was like for the people going on to the beach and the airborne it gives all different perspectives from the people from england the united states and the nazi's and it outlines it what everyone was doing all the way until dday was over.


5 out of 5 stars Zanuck's vision of D-Day    December 10, 2008
L. Cabos (planet earth)
A little dated, this remains one of the great war movies ever made. On June the 6th 1944 Daryl F. Zanuck was on a ship watching the largest invasion in the history of man. That image would stay with him and drive him to make an epic war film from Cornelius Ryan's bestseller. One of the greatest casts ever assembled: John Wayne, Robert Ryan, Henry Fonda, Robert Mitchum, Stuart Whitman, Tom Tryon, Eddie Albert, Edmund O'Brien, Peter Lawford, Richard Burton, Jeffrey Hunter, Roddy McDowell, Richard Beamer, Gert Frobe and Sean Connery -- infact, under contract to 20th Century Fox for several years, this would be the only film he did for them. His next project would be DR. NO. A vast film that shows the epic event from both the Allied ,German and Partisan sides. The action scenes are truly spectacular.
