5.0 out of 5 stars Best Reagan video!!, January 5, 2003

By 

IntegrityLee (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Salute to Reagan - A President's Greatest Moments (DVD)

I think some of the other reviewers did not actually watch this DVD! It has ALL the great moments of Reagan's presidency (Inauguration, Evil Empire, Challenger, D-Day, along with lots of great jokes, including the age joke in the debate against Mondale, etc... etc..., including virtually all that another reviewer claimed was missing). The only speeches of import that are missing are from BEFORE his Presidency, which is implied by the subtitle: A President's Greatest Moments. It even has the entire tribute film that celebrated his great Presidency at the '96 convention. For anyone looking for an inspiring and uplifting compilation of all the highlights - and one that moved my staunch Democrat mom to tears - this is it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring but incomplete, June 26, 2002

This review is from: Salute to Reagan - A President's Greatest Moments (DVD)

Even the most cynical liberal must concede that when Reagan spoke, every word came from his heart; he simply believed that America was the greatest nation in the world, Communism was evil and the common sense of everyday people was superior to Big Government. This DVD captures some of that eloquence but leaves out some of Reagan's greatest speeches. Someday, a Reagan DVD will include the following: the 'Time for Choosing' Goldwater speech in 1964, his consolation speech to the 1976 GOP convention, highlights from the 2nd debate with Carter in 1980, the inaugral address in 1981, the 'Evil Empire' speech in 1983, the D-Day Anniversary in 1984, the 1984 GOP convention acceptance speech, the 1985 Oval office address after the Challenger disaster, the 1987 Oval office address after the Rejyavik Summit, the Berlin Wall speech in 1987 and finally, his last address from the Oval Office in 1989. A DVD of this magnitude would be a fitting tribute to one of the greatest Presidents in US History.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the Place to Start for Reagan Fans, June 24, 2004

This review is from: Salute to Reagan - A President's Greatest Moments (DVD)

Greatest moments? Not really. This is a decent compilation for neophytes who have never heard of Reagan but I would look elsewhere. If you have the money to spend first I would recommend the more comprehensive "Ronald Reagan: The Great Communicator" (MPI) which is a treasure trove of rare clips from a mindblowing GE commercial made in the 1950s to an extended look at the greatest moments of the Reagan presidency. Every clip you need is on that series. Otherwise, I thought PBS did an admirable job--basically a balanced look--but lacking the one thing Reagan fans crave: Reagan in his own words.
