To bad it bombed in the theaters, great movie great cast ,gotta see it .

1941 is a great sleeper, awesome that its on HD and a great price too!

I love this movie. I'm so glad it finally came out on blu-ray.

WW2 comedy at it's best! Belushi/Akykroyd Great Team..........

GREAT CLASSIC VERY FUNNY MOVIE SOUNDS EVEN BETTER IN BLU-RAY

Between Speilberg and Belushi I was hoping for more. Glad I saw it, but wish I could've seen it for free on cable instead buying it.

When I ordered this item, there was no mention of widescreen or letterbox on the description. But this movie is very difficult to watch on my computer. It is very small. I thought I was ordering full screen version. Now I have a movie that I can't watch and enjoy. If I return it I only get the same movie in exchange. Not what I wanted.

1941, Spielberg's 5th fiilm, was quite anticipated upon its release in 1979. His first 2 films (Duel & The Sugarland Express) gave him critical acclaim and his following 2 (Jaws & Close Encounters of the Third Kind) said he was here to stay as a film director. First, the good news: Spielberg assembled a dream cast, including the top-billed John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, along with Robert Stack, Christopher Lee, Toshiro Mifune, Ned Beatty, and others. The art direction, music, and costumes also are well done. Now, the bad news: Sadly, what kept the film from attaining the same classic status as Dr. Strangelove is the lack of one thing every comedy needs in order to be good: laughs. While the film has a chuckle or two (like Lee and Mifune speaking to each other solely in German and Japanese, respectively), there are no standout classic funny moments as there are in classic laughfests like A Shot in the Dark, What About Bob?, and the aforementioned Kubrick film. Thankfully, the cast keeps the movie from becoming something even worse than an unfunny comedy-a painfully unfunny comedy. Hence, 1941 isn't as bad as, say, Nothing But Trouble, Tomcats, Bubble Boy, or Freddy Got Fingered. For that, it's certainly worth a look for the curious. Happily, Spielberg's future attempts at comedy proved more successful (Catch Me If You Can & The Terminal).

1941 is a funny goofy movie from steven spiel-berg because like his films are classics like jaws e.t jurassic park duel and of corse the first 3 jones films so if you want to watch a goofy funny movie than watch 1941 and the blu-ray is alot better than the dvd and the blu-ray has all the extras that was on the blu-ray so if you are a fan of this movie well worth upgrading from dvd to blu-ray because picture alone looks way better than dvd ever did and the audio sound very clear so check it out

If you love SNL. Then you will love this movie. Most of the original cast is in it. Plus alot of the cast from SCTV. Great movie. A must have.

I don't understand why this movie isn't a classic comedy? Great cast , directing and writing. There are two versions both great fun! fast pace .
