3.0 out of 5 stars Not An Official U.S. Release.., March 10, 2008

By	Bluzfan1 (Illinois in the U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

Wings is a great movie and well deserved of the very first ever Academy Award for Best Picture. The problem is it hasn't been released officially in the U.S., and until such time this Korean import version will have to do. While i'm glad to have this film in my "Best Picture" collection? I should add that the picture is somewhat grainy, flickers & jumps around quite a bit, and there is no way to turn the annoying subtitles off. Subtitles on a silent movie you ask? Yes there are! As with all silent movies, there are dialogue cards that appear on the film between scenes so that you can read what the actors are saying. And this version has subtitles which repeat the dialogue word-for-word, but not at the same time as the dialogue cards, which means you have to read every word twice, the second time after the film resumes. They're quite distracting to the movie, and the main reason i'm rating this three stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars First Winner for Best Picture, April 15, 2009

By	Diofan "Dave" (AR USA) - See all my reviews

This movie was the first movie to win the Academy Award for Best Picture (Back then, it was called "Best Production"). Of the 81 movies to win this award, only two are not available on DVD in the United States: Cavalcade and Wings. This product is an import but WILL play on your Region 1 DVD player. Until Paramount decides to officially release this film to DVD, this import is the only way to own this film on DVD. This film is also noteworthy in that it is the only silent picture to win the top prize. Beyond it's historical significance, this movie is very well written and produced. The acting performances are supurb, especially considering that they can't be heard!
