  • The Longest Day.

    A great film for it's time full of stars of the screen and a legendary producer&directors.Well worth a view. This film is of a period in history that has given us the world we live in today. Some of the actors in this film actually did it for real 17 years earlier(Richard Todd for example). Somewhat dated but a classic of the period.

  • All youngsters should watch this film!

    I saw this movie at the cinema in the 60's when it came out. I also bought a copy on DVD a few years ago. I was then a little bored with it- especially with it being over 3 hours long, but , as i have recently toured the D Day beaches myself, I purchased it again to watch. As i now Know the villages and history of the 6th June 1944 landings, i purchased it again, in double DVD. Wow, i did enjoy it this time. Amazing heroes and we should never forget the sacrifice they made for us all.

  • Good watch

    What those poor men went through beggars belief. Had an old fashioned feel to it but it is an old film and got most of the historical facts into it
