Memphis Belle (BD)Produced by Academy Award-winner David Puttnam ("Chariots of Fire," "The Killing Fields"), this panoramic adventure based on actual events of the young crew of the "Memphis Belle," one of America's B-17 "Flying Fortresses" assigned to fly missions over Nazi occupied Europe, recreates the riveting tale of their final and most dangerous mission. Included in the ensemble cast of today's brightest young talents are Matthew Modine, Eric Stoltz, Billy Zane, Sean Astin, and jazz singer/musician Harry Connick, Jr. in his film debut. Also starring is two-time Oscar-nominee and Golden Globe and Emmy-winner John Lithgow. Featuring a beautiful score by George Fenton, Rex Reed calls this "thrilling!...it will make you cheer" and Sneak Previews calls it "...heart stopping...an unforgettable experience. One of the year's best!"]]>

Classic WW2 film
While the plot might not be completely accurate, it is a historically important film that uses a little Hollywood magic - and about eight real-life B-17 flying fortresses - to embellish the 25th mission of the first crew - which, itself was not a complete crew that changed with every mission - and brought some legends - Harry Bellafonte, Sean Astin, and more - in a pagentry of the air over Germany that reminds us that air force crews, as well as every veteran of the Greatest Generation - earned the freedom of the era and worked hard to preserve that freedom for future generations. Good film, and the DVD here is a fairly good update if your old VHS copy isn't any good anymore. Could've used more bonus content.

Based on a true story, Hollywood of course embellished parts of the movie. It still worth watching.

A great telling of the famed bomber and her crew!.
This was another movie that I was tired of waiting and waiting for to be put back on TV. I always knew about the existence of the bomber. I never knew her history. I also never knew about her history since her retirement. One day I hope to get to see her in person at the United States Air Force Museum. It took them 15 years to restore her because she was so badly damaged by vandalism and sitting outside!. She’s fully restored and watching this movie gives you an idea of who she and her crew was.

A classic that many folks don’t know
This film is wonderful. It has suspense and action but is still family appropriate. If your kids loved top gun…. Try this out!

Buon film.
Compiere 25 missioni di bombardamento e tornare sempre a casa può considerarsi un miracolo per un bombardiere nel 1943.Questa è la storia di un equipaggio di 10 uomini e del loro bombardiere, uno dei più famosi aerei delle Seconda Guerra Mondiale.Il film è del 1990, quindi pochi effetti speciali, ma fa capire quanto coraggio e quanto affiatamento (e amicizia) fra l’equipaggio ci voleva per volare su un lento quadrimotore, bersaglio di contraerea e caccia nemici.Unica pecca è che è stato girato in formato 4:3 e, per vederlo in 16:9, si perde un po’ di immagine periferica.
