Customer Reviews of The Longest Day [Region 2]
A Truly Great Film , But... I adore this movie...LOVE it... easily one of the Greatest World War 2 movies ever. Full of great actors and memorable scenes..my favorite being Red Skelton as the unlucky Para caught by his parachute on the church steeple, helplessly watching as all his buddies get picked off...an awesome scene. My only gripe about this movie is the lack of recognition of all the Canadians who played such a significant part in D-Day, especially on Juno Beach. Bizarrely, the Free-French forces get their own sub-plot in the movie...but where the bloody hell were the Candians in this otherwise fantastic film?
This is the best edition to own!
This commentary is about the technical aspects of this release. In this 2000 edition, TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX produced a digitally remastered video resulting in a crisp, clean master with sharp contrast. Best of all, they placed the German and French subtitles in the lower "black bar" area provided though letterboxing. This makes a BIG difference and provides a gratifying viewing experience for an almost 3 hour movie.

>Though not historically correct in just a couple of scenes, it is for the most part right on target. Because of studio self-censuring, this movie is purposely devoid of blood and gore that the butchery of war brings. But sometimes blood drenched beaches and hillsides can be a bit gratuitous and the movie's objective can be made without such scenes, as is with this movie.
one of the best ever made
the longest day is one of the best war movies ever made. this tale of the first 24 hours of the d-day landings and air drops is more than just good movie making it's history and a fine show of what good writing acting and direction can do. each point of view is given and tthe battle scenes are some of the most powerful ever shot. with an all-star cast this set the tone for all the big epic war movies to come. a must own if you like war movies or just good movies.
