Reach For The Sky (DVD, 2003)

Great title,very appropriate.

My husband and I love a good English war movie, I guess because we were born in London before World War 2 so it brings back memories of those days. Also Kenneth More is a great actor and makes great movies.
The condition of the DVD was excellent, like new.Read full review

Great film, definitely worth watching.

Such a classic film that works very well in 16:9 format. If cropping was employed to get the fit, it was not obvious. Well worth watching, especially for anyone who does not know this true story.

An inspirational true story

This film is based on the true story of Douglas Bader, an English fighter ace during World War 2 who lost both his legs iin a horrific accident, but continued to fly with the help of a pair of prosthetic limbs, racking up a tally of 22 kills over the war.

You'd think in the current year, this film would be feted as its protagonist is a disabled hero who fights the Nazis, but instead this classic has been almost forgotten about.

A wonderful story with a fantastic cast and endearing characters.Read full review

Classic World War 2 film

The story of Douglas Bader and his determination to fly again after loosing his legs in a plane crash is entertaining, heroic and at times has a humerus twist. Played by Kenneth More. One of the best classic war films of all time about a great hero.Read full review

Magnificent portrayal of WW2 bravery

It's a superb film. Douglas Bader is brilliantly played by Kenneth More, it's one of those "much watch" films. Everyone needs to appreciate the bravery of our men who served this country so magnificently in WW2.Read full review

Good buy

Still engaging after all these years - largely down to Kenneth More. I recently re-read 'Reach for the Sky' and it's many years since I saw the film so thought I'd like to see it again.
DVD played fine - no problems.Read full review

Good film due for a Blu Ray Update

An inspirational film showing how determination can overcome anything. Look for the scene where Bader takes over new pilots in the Second World War. When they find out he has no legs - they have no respect. Then he walks to his plane....

A good film that desperately needs a Blu Ray remastering - like the 'Dambusters'. Extras could be included as there are none on the DVD release.Read full review
