The Big Country [Blu-ray] [1958]

This is one of the great classic Westerns. It shows the change one man can bring to an entire area and how the West was won through better choices and fulfilling one's dreams. The theme sets upon a bitter age-old feud between two men who drag their families down with a battle over pride, greed and stupidity. Yet Gregory Peck and Jean Simmons shine as the two people who choose to make a positive future through hard decisions and sheer courage. It's the American Dream at its roots and entertainment at its finest. The music is also outstanding. If you want a great classic Western with a feel good ending that inspires forward thinking and pursuing one's dreams, this is the movie to watch.

I love westerns...! After feeling like I've seen every great western out there, I started searching and hoping to find another. Finally I ran across this one, "The Big Country, on Blu-Ray." Every actor in here gives an excellent performance. Great music, great cinematography, and western landscape. If you feel like there's no more great westerns to watch, and you missed this one, get it, you'll love it...

I bought this blu-ray during the father's day sale to upgrade my dvd copy of this movie. I haven't watched the blu-ray just yet, but as to the quality of the movie, it is superb. Fans of Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston or any of the other characters will find them giving great performances. A particular standout is Burl Ives.

A good example of a great movie that is not quite as well known as others of the genre. Boasting an all-star cast, an outstanding director and sweeping cinematography; it is a must have for any Western fan. Of note is also the unforgettable theme music. I had this movie on DVD and jumped at the chance to upgrade it to Blu-ray.

This is one of those life lessons movies. There are many of those movies made in years past. This one teaches about humility and being a strong man - among other pluses. Many things that we need in our world right now. Pick it up and watch it. Gregory Peck is awesome in this movie.

A very good old movie that is now on Blu-Ray. Watching this movie takes me back many years. I really enjoy watching these old movies on Blu-Ray now. You can't beat the price. .. buy it. . . .

I love cowboy classics and this one is a CLASSIC! Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston, and Burl Ives are just a few that make up a top notch cast. A must have!

This is not your stereotypical western It is a story what most people can relate to and include an all star cast and has sensational music and photography.
