Dances With Wolves [25th Anniversary] [Blu-ray] [1990]

This is NOT the 2-disc, 20th Anniversary Edition as described; this is the 1-disc standard edition. The UPC on the box (of the 1-disc version I received) matches the UPC listed in the description for this item (supposedly the 2-disc version) on Best Buy website.

Absolutely love this film!!! Was so happy to find it and add to my movie library. Highly recommend

Nice artwork on cover, great film and limited edition. 4k limited edition would’ve been better, don’t know what happened there

Really nice for the collector! Theatrical, Extended and an extra disc of special features on 3 BluRays in a lovely Steelbook edition case. Well Done on this one Best Buy!

It came fast and in great condition. Its a great movie

Great movie to have to watch over and over again. Good for the whole family.

An epic film about the disappearing West! Set during the Civil War, this picture captures the story of Leutenant Dunbar, who volunteers to be posted at the Union's furthermost western post, in the middle of nowhere, because he "wants to see the Western Frontier before it disappears." Cut off from any Union help, and forced to fend for himself, Dunbar befriends the Native American tribe in the area. He helps them hunt for buffalo, defends the camp when it is attacked by another tribe, and falls in love. As the years progress, the Union army finally expands into the area and Dunbar (named "Dances with Wolves" by his Native American friends) is forced to choose between his loyalty to the Union (who's plan is to move the Indians out of the area by force, or kill them if they won't go) and his loyalty to the tribe who has become his family. This movie is so good that it derailed Kevin Coster's career for some time. After directing and starring in this picture and winning just about every Academy Award that year, fans expected greatness in every picture he did afterwards. But none could measure up to this one. If you've never seen "Dances with Wolves" or don't own it, the blu-ray is currently in the $5.99 bin at Best Buy. Buy it, watch it, enjoy!

Dances with Wolves is a great film. it is not only great as a period film, capturing the beauty, challenge, and loneliness of Great Plains settlement life. in its depiction of primitive, tribal life of Native Americans during this period and their interactions with various groups of Whites (poachers, military, settlers), it vividly depicts the complexities of "progress" as it moved west. it is also an even deeper story of human identity and isolation vs. community, it explores the true nature of human "savagery", and tells a wonderful story of love and friendship across cultural barriers. this edition of the film is wonderful. it contains extended and additional scenes incorporated into the film itself. accompanying the film are also "making of" featurettes and a retrospective that includes great interviews with the cast and film creators.
