Though this movie is a classic I think it is only okay.

It’s a classic. My daughter loves it but it’s just okay for me

3 hours long......wow..........tough to sit through.

Beautiful location iin Salzburg, Austria and the Alps.

To be fair I have never watched this movie, but then again I have never wanted to. Bought it only because my fiancee wanted it, for what it's worth she clearly like it. I would rather watch Julie Andrews in Mary Poppins. Or S.O.B..

The DVD skipped the first time we watched it . Should not

I purchased this set to get the digital copy since all streaming platforms have removed this movie. When I opened it, the insert for the digital copy stated the code might not work past December 2022. I was nervous, but I tried it anyway. The code worked perfectly, plus I have another hard copy of one of my favorite films.

Recently every streaming platform removed this movie and it’s my go to flight movie. When I saw this was two discs and a digital copy I purchased it immediately- and the price is amazing.

What is there to say that has not been already said about this classic masterpiece of a musical? The Sound of Music is nothing less than a heart-warming experience for any individual and/or family out there. For those who are not familiar with the plot of the film, it is about a far-from-perfect nun whose task is to heal a household, consisting of seven children and a former Naval captain, that has lost its joy. She learns a great number of things about the children, about the captain, and about herself throughout the movie. With her personality consisting of finding the best in all things, she is able to bring the family closer together through song, care, and creativity. It's comedic, it's romantic, it's historic, and it's simply wonderful. This remastered film on Blu-ray is just phenomenal! The textures, clothing fabric, and green pastures almost look three-dimensional due to state-of-the-art digital restoration. Sound is in 7.1 DTS-HD with the feature film in 1080p HD. There are plenty of special features, and the way that they are presented is outstanding. It has a nostalgic, feel-good vibe to it. Included is a virtual tour of the von Trapp household and Salzburg - gorgeous! One can't go wrong here. The Sound of Music on Blu-ray is a must-have for all those who enjoy the best musical presentation they could ever experience sitting in front of a TV.

Fast, reliable, great service. They had what I was looking for.

The Sound of Music is much more than a timeless Rogers and Hammerstein musical classic - it is the true story of a brave young lady who is forced to give up her dream of becoming a nun because she is too rambunctious for the cloistered life, but, upon facing up to reality, accepts the true unwavering love of a wealthy captain, but first, she must teach his kids how to be kids! Maria (Julie Andrews) brings joy into the luxurious, but dismal and sorrowful life of the Captain by, against his wishes, teaching his kids to laugh and sing and play outdoors in the mountains, like kids! While much has been said about Andrews' vibrant acting, singing, and dancing, we also appreciate Christopher Plummer's quiet gentle portrayal of the melancholy Captain. Throughout the movie, we see a merry little twinkle in his eye, even when he is trying to be stern with his children, and a soft Mona Lisa smile that, during his wedding, turns to beaming as he watches Maria slowly and eagerly walk towards him! We also are aware of the Captain's fierce loyalty to Austria - where Mozart once lived - and his grief and mourning as he watches it slowly succumb to the unspeakable horrors of the Third Reich - and we admire his courage in his refusal to have anything to do with the evil that has entered Austria. He always does what is right, even if it is painful. One of the saddest parts of the movie is when he sings about a little flower that he may never see again in his homeland, which, also, he may never see again. Yet Maria's love for him empowers him to flee with her and the children, and, because of their love and their courage, we cheer as we see them successfully trekking into Switzerland - and safety! I often watch The Sound of Music in order to feel good, but this movie is much more than something delightful and pleasant - it is the true story of valor and courage and triumph, through the power of love!

I bought this movie on bluray because my wife loves this movie and so does her grandma. She had it on VHS and I thought this was a nice upgrade. Let me start by saying I have never sat through this movie in its entirety once. This is the most gorgeous restoration of a movie from this time period I have ever seen. Both my wife and I were blown away at how good it looks on 1080p HD TV. On that alone this is a buy because of the music and astounding picture. Past that this is a classic that my 3, 5, & 7 year old loved. I can't recommend this purchase enough. I paid $17 over the holiday but I would recommend paying double that price if you had too.

I thought this movie was rather short, but I really enjoyed watching it with my sons, Ernesto and Joseph. I also thought that I should invite the neighbors in watching this fun, and musical film. They really enjoyed the movie, and asked me if I was willing to sell it, I just laughed, and they left very MAD!! I wondered why? The movie seemed peaceful, I mean it should, because my sons are VERY picky and don't just like watching ANY movie, but they LOVED this one!! I recommend this to everyone!! It will definitely make your day. It sure made mine!!!!!

Sound of Music, the movie and one of the greatest musicals of all time. It is a combination of drama, romance, music, unforgetable lyrics, and comedic moments. The cimetographer captures the breathtaking magnificance of Austria. It doesn't matter how old you are the Sound of Music, a classic the whole family can sit in their living room and not be imbaressed by bad language or violence. A movie that should be in everyone's video library. The 45th Box Anniversary edition includes DVD,an excellant biography of the movie and a beautiful music box. An excellant buy for the Sound of Music Movie Lover.

they did a great job restoring and doctoring the picture quality up and made the sound good too. It has surround sound in lossless quality but it is not quite as good as the new movies are done these days. But still pretty darn good for a 1964 movie! Nevertheless, it is a classic movie and if you are a buff you need to add this to your collection of blu ray titles.

This movie is definitly worthy of millions of awards! Having a great plot, and happening during an epic period in time. No matter what, this movie is always going to be one of my favorite movies. I hope that this movie will still be around forever. I also hope that everyone in the world will get to see this fantastic movie at least once. The first time I saw it was in school during my 7th hour class, reading. This movie has been one of my favorites for ever since then.

I have already purchased my own copy of Sound of Music, seeing as how I killed my VHS copy from how many times I watched it. It has the amazing actress Julie Andrews and wonderful music that have always been great to sing along to. I then watched it again when they re-released it in theaters, and my friend fell in love with it, so I bought her her own copy for her birthday!

I love this movie! I loved the songs and the plot of this movie. It is set in the times of adolf hitler. How a captain wants to move away and escape adolf hitler. Julie Andrews is great in this movie; I love all the movies that she stars in. She is a great actor. This movie is music to my ears and I treasure it with all my heart. It is the best musical I have ever seen and nobody has been better than it yet.

Great picture, especially since the previous one was VHS. Bought it so that the grandchildren will experience it. The sound was synced with video just fine. I have had the out-of-sync problem previously on my Blu-ray player and it was the player, not the movie. Had to unplug the unit from the wall for about a minute and then let it reboot itself. Took care of the problem...

The 50th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition of Sound of Music is the definitive version of the film to own. In addition to the feature film on Blu-Ray and DVD, there is a wealth of extras, the soundtrack on CD, digital copies of the film and a brand new documentary. The restoration is incredible, and the colors really pop at you.
