I didn't intentionally give you a dislike - I will look and change.
Just looked - no 'dislike' from me or anyone that I could see.

I didn't intentionally give you a dislike - I will look and change.I figured that had to be the case from your previous "dislike". I wonder if we have the same publication: 4 DVDs? 3? VHS? "Collectors' Edition"?

I actually agree with you, the sound on the DVD was terrible, it seems the technicians in charge of that part of the transfer were out to lunch that day. My copy is almost un-listenable... if that's a word. Pity too because as drgondog says, it's a magnificent score.I figured that had to be the case from your previous "dislike".

Common problem with today's digital "remasters" of original analog recordings. Audio recorded in the early days of monaural vaccum tube "Hi-Fi" was mixed and reproduced for playback on machines with a much "rounder" sound and lacking the extreme audio bandwidth and dynamic range of today's solid state surround sound powerhouses.I actually agree with you, the sound on the DVD was terrible, it seems the technicians in charge of that part of the transfer were out to lunch that day.

We may have similar afflictions...

So I repeat: What version do you have? I seek info by which I can get what you have. I'd love to have a copy with decent (or no) music.My copy has a superb sound track....
DVD commercially sold 10-15 years ago. I would have to dig it out. When I have time I will.So I repeat: What version do you have? I seek info by which I can get what you have. I'd love to have a copy with decent (or no) music.
Sean Connery was in the movie "The Longest Day" as Pvt Flanagan which came out in 1962, the same years as "Dr No".Sean Connery passed today, age 90. My favourite Bond.

'The Fallen', a little known, independently made film that is the most accurate depiction of the American experience of ground combat in the European theater to date that I have seen so far. Worth an 'Honorable Mention' is 'Memorial Day' (2012).This is heavily subjective, but here is my question.
The other day my son and I decided to watch Midway. My son is very much a film aficionado and I have a graduate minor concentration in film criticism so we usually watch movies with a sharp eye. Twenty minutes in, we both are under impressed by the movie and I made the comment that there were far better aviation war movies and we paused Midway to watch Twelve O'Clock High and Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. One thing we both picked up on is that the soldiers/airman all acted like they new what war was and seemed invested differently than current actors do.
Made me wonder, if you were to recommend and aviation based war movie. What would it be and why?
I looked that one up and it sounds excellent, but it's apparently not available anywhere in the US for (legal) viewing. I was ready to pay $$$ to watch it on Amazon or whatever because a good war movie is a rare pleasure. The plot of this one sounds superb. I guess I'll have to pursue some other clandestine method if I want to watch it which is a shame because I'd like to throw the filmmakers a bone...'The Fallen', a little known, independently made film that is the most accurate depiction of the American experience of ground combat in the European theater to date that I have seen so far.

The HBO movie 'The Pacific' is unsuitable for younger viewers; in fact it is actually 'toned down' by the film makers as an accurate depiction was considered unsuitable for older viewers.
The Fallen (2004) directed by Ari Taub. Available at Amazon DVD movies. Also available on ebay but those are from overseas sellers.I looked that one up and it sounds excellent, but it's apparently not available anywhere in the US for (legal) viewing.

lol...just as I posted that, I realized you may have meant streaming!Ah cheers, maybe I'll just order the DvD. I generally prefer not to mess with other alternatives.
