After seeing Saving Private Ryan, this epic tale about the Normandy invasion will look sanitized. But in its re-creation of events leading to the epochal battle, the film is captivating and grand, and the parade of famous actors who cross the screen naturally give the already charged action even more of a boost. Three directors worked on it: Ken Annakin (Battle of the Bulge), Andrew Marton (Crack in the World), and Bernhard Wicki (this film being his only credit). --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - Overrated and dated, but still a great subject
I've just been listening to a BBC program called "And The Academy Award Goes To..." when I heard a film reviewer make a sacrilegious statement, "The Longest Day is not a very good movie". I've felt that for years. The first weekend The Longest Day opened, my buddy & I rode the bus 14 miles into Seattle to see this. We were thrilled, but since we were watching through our clear 10 year old eyes, we could spot a "fakey" movie when we saw it. The use of Messerschmidt bf-108's was glaring, and of ... Read More
Rating:  - My favorite war movie
Other than the James Bonds, this is my favorite film and my favorite war film.I remember seeing it at my local theater at age 13 in 1963, a year after its first run reserved-seat engagement on Broadway.I watch it every June 6th. and have yet to tire of it.
Starring John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, Henry Fonda, Richard Burton and a pre-Dr. No, Sean Connery, among numerous others.(The only film I can think of with a better cast is probably "How the West Was Won.)The film had three directors ... Read More
Rating: - Action war movie with all star cast.
Enjoyed this War movie, but it is in black and white. It does have an all star cast. It has great action and fine actors through out the movie. It is on blu-ray with great picture detail but sound is not quite 5.1 nor is it colorized. I think it should be remastered with color (colorized) and with 5.1 sound added. Thus it is why I rate it at 3 out of 5.
Rating:  - Why oh Why is this Region Locked
I find it incredible that a film that was made in 1962 and is about how our two country's came together in battle has been released with the Region locked, what justification can there be, that the US gets the film, but we in Europe can't buy it, I can understand if it was a new film but come on, made in 1962, a film about europe, stars many european stars of the day, a conflict we shared but I can't buy it in the UK, this stinks, so much for investing in Blue-Ray at least HDDVD was region free.
Rating: - the longest day
This is a great film for the events that happened on D-Day. I wish they had John Wayne in the 101st, oh well still a great movie
