The Sound of Music [50th Anniversary Edition] [DVD] [1965]

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!!

I'm a big fan of this movie and only had it in VHS. Time to move into the 21st century and get the DVD and Blue Ray. I only had a chance to watch the Blue Ray version of it so far. That version looks beautiful except during some scenes. For some reason there are a few scenes (not that many) where there seems to be a watery shadow that outlines the character as they move. It's distracting. Especially considering how crisp everything else looks. It seemed to happen mostly with just the dad, Captain Von Trapp (sp?).

I have loved this movie since I was a kid and to see the higher quality picture on bluray it is amazing how much better the sound and clors are. This is a must-buy if you own a bluray player

So glad they have put out the 50th anniversary edition of this classic film. My whole family likes to watch and sing along!

Great classic movie w/some fun additional bonus features. The classics never go out of style particularly when a digital download is included. :)
