To make matters ... Read More Rating: - The Longest DayI love this classic war movie! Because it has the best Actor of all times is John Wayne. Well anyway the movie looks really good on Blu-ray. But it is not in color. But you should own it today and yes it's a great movie. Rating:  - Good CopyNice reproduction. It was originally filmed in great quality. Not real sure if the Blue-ray version is that much better. I viewed it on a 720p 42" LCD. But the price made it worth it. Browse for similar items by category:
