D-Day The 6th Of June DVD

Advantages: Best War Movie ever made!
Disadvantages: None

...This is quite simply the best War film ever made in my opinion.Deserved more than the two oscars it received(cinematography and special effects).The film chronicles the D-Day landings from the conception,planning, to the day itself on the 6th of June 1944 when the first of three million allied soldiers landed on the beaches of Normandy.The attack involved eleven thousand planes and four thousand ships,comprising the biggest armada ever assembled.Told from both sides this film is factually correct and well acted by a brilliant cast including John Wayne, Robert Mitchum,Sophia Loren and Anton Diffring to name just a few.Also includes a great documentary "D-Day Revisited" plus the original Theatrical Trailer plus the trailers from "Tora! Tora! Tora! and "Patton".A Must have for any DVD collection!... Read review
