After having purchased the non-anamorphic version of "The Longest Day", one of the truly great war epics, I recently purchased the two-disc "Cinema Classics Collection" and was sorely disappointed with lack of clarity of the image when viewed on a 46" Samsung LCD. Compared to excellent B/W DVD releases such as Warner's presentation of "Citizen Kane" (1941) or Criterion's release of David Lean's "Great Expectations" (1946), this Fox release of "Longest Day" is totally unacceptable. To make matters worse, this disc begins with a burst of noise accompanying a preview which cannot be defeated with the menu button. A real bummer over-all. How would the public feel if every music CD began with commercials for new CD releases? How are they getting away with this?
If, at the beginning of this practice, consumers returned dvd's with commercials on them to the manufacturers or the dealers, it probably could have been stopped fast. The outer packaging of such discs should at least contain a statement in easily readable lettering that this dvd contains advertising.

I purchased this bluray disk and it will not load. My bluray player is a Sony BDPS790 that is specified to play dual layer bluray disks. Well it doesn't! Sony says that Fox has changed their copyright data on the disk which the player does not recognize. As far as I know not one other manufacture has a player available that will play this disk. I contacted Fox and they have yet to reply other than a link to Sony's firmware upgrade that is already installed on my player. Any body out there go any ideas?

Well I will keep this short , because this treatment of the Normandy invasion had me bored for most the the movie. Why? Because the movie is essentially a theaterical depiction of the invasion with virtually no character development ,no story line and no military stragey to show how planning was developed. John Wayne left me realing against his over-blown personality and silly manner.Others were just as bad. I saw this film when it first came out, did not think to highly of it then and certainly know now how poor this thing is. A waste of time and money to say the least. A THUMBS DOWN ! !

The DVD didn't play on any of our (4) DVD players. 3 of them said the disc was unplayable and the 4th gave a "Zone" error... something about being unable to play the disc in this zone.

Turned out not to work in my DVD player. Message was that it was the wrong zone. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what that means. All I know is that I couldn't play it.

I purchased the dvd for Father's Day, but it wouldn't even play in his dvd player. The disc was scratched and I couldn't return because my dad informed me after it was too late to get a refund.
