I recently read "The Dead and Those About to Die" by John C. McManus, which chronicles the Big Red One at Omaha Beach on D-Day. I had seen this movie when it was originally released and had it on VHS, but it was not available on any streaming platform. It was just as inexpensive to get a new copy from Best Buy than to get a new or used copy from any other source. This movie is a must have for any WWII buff.

just like my wife's uncle said happened when he was in the war with the big red one

The video is a dramatization of the history of the 1st Infantry Division from the end of World War 1 through World War II. Young recruits learn to survive and mature as they follow their experienced Sargent through various battles. Lee Marvin is excellent in his role and undoubtedly draws on personal experience in World War II to teach us of the horrors endured by these young men.

This movie grows on you through the years. I do believe it was Lee Marvin's last movie and he gave a great performance. His squad includes a young Mark Hamill-Luke Skywalker and Kung Fu's younger brother, Robert Carradine. Through the years I have watched this movie numerous times.

One of the best war films I have ever seen. And this disk contains the reconstructed version with extra scenes. I have watched both and like both of them. You won't go wrong on this movie.

Excellent find!! Loved the movie for years, but now I finally have it on blu-ray! Works great on our new blu-ray DVD player. THANKS BEST BUY!!

This is one of the best WWII movies of all time. Beautifully shot, and lots of great actors and action.

This has always been one of my favorite WWII movies and I was glad to get it on high definition Blu-ray! Thanks!

I saw this movie in the 1980's and thought it was really good. However, upon seeing it again, it doesn't quite hold up. It's still good but not as good as I originally thought.
