This is a real treasure -- the once-in-a-lifetime Opening Ceremonies to watch and enjoy over and over again. Other reviewers have been picky about the commentary, etc., but don't let that deter you. This is an absolutely thrilling DVD. It was incredible to see the first time on television; it's just as exhilarating and amazing on DVD. Plus, now you can really take your time to study and re-study the unbelievable imagination, logistics, and expertise that put together this extravaganza. It's pretty safe to say that nothing like this will ever be seen again (what other country could come up with this budget, or these many people?). I found the technical quality of it great, just beautifully done. And it's nice to have easy access to each scene within it, so you can just hop through to ... Read More

Este tributo al mejor estadio de baseball es un buen video. Todo el contenido tiene un valor histórico muy rico, por tradición, por la mística.

Lo que se puede apreciar es que hay parte del contenido de los diálogos del dvd conmemorativo de los 100 años del equipo pero bueno, para enriquecer las imágenes está bien.

En general, este video no aburre, al contrario, nos ayuda a mantener vivos los recuerdos de esos años tan gloriosos, de campeonatos, de series mundiales, de juegos perfectos, de jugadas espectaculares, en fin, de tantas cosas hermosas que nos da el Yankee Baseball.

Lo que me decepcionó un poco fue el encontar que este dvd no tiene sonido 5.1 ni remasterización THX, tal y como lo indica la tabla de características del producto.

This movie showcases Michael Phelps' achievements during the 2008 Olympic Games. The first half of the film shows the events he performed in. His events are followed by interviews and mini-segments aired during his competition(s).

Michael Phelps is accomplishing his goal of introducing and inspiring many to swimming! He's a fantastic athlete who works to inspire a nation. This film places Mr. Phelps in the best light and serves to illustrate his dedication and hard work. While Michael Phelps had the tendency to be "at a loss for words," his performances are driven by his competitiveness. Again, this film works to exhibit the best of Michael Phelps during the 2008 Olympic Games and it serves to remind us all why he's quickly become the best swimming athlete.

Long before "Eye vant to pump you up..." became a Hans and Franz Saturday Night Live catchphrase, before the pump was a feature of Reebok running shoes, there was Arnold Schwarzenegger's orgiastic tribute to the sensation of muscular blood-engorgement.

"Pumping Iron" is a late 1970's documentary of bodybuilding subculture and the competitive hothouse leading up to the Mr. Olympia Competition of 1975. Its macro focus is hijacked somewhat by the larger than life muscles and personality of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

At this level, all of the bodybuilders have incredible physiques and are skilled at posing. Arnold has a command of the stage, though, a charisma, a sense of ease bordering on arrogance. His incandescent personality reads the people and situations around him ... Read More

I saw this movie at the theatre. It was remarkably inspiring. I wanted to go out that night and run a marathon. The director does a beautiful job of weaving the stories of several runners who are training for the Chicago Marathon. He takes both elite runners and everyday middle of the pack runners. Many, many inspiring stories! I plan to own it and show it to my cross country kids. THIS IS A MUST SEE FOR ALL RUNNERS!!!

I purchased a BD player a year ago and love it. So far my favorite BD DVD was the Planet Earth series but it now changed to Step into Liquid. I dont know how they captured these amazing scenes and it looks fantastic. I have a whole new appreciation for Surfing. I would definetly recommened purchasing this movie. You will be showing off your BD Player and TV to all your guests.

It is not only a fantastic surfing movie; it is a fantastic look at the world in 1968. They couldn't say what they say in this movie today. It would NOT be PC. There is nothing offensive about this movie socially, but the left wing PC'ers of the world would not let these guys describe the world so accurately.

As far as I am concerned, this is the all time best manly movie about surfing around the world. Makes me want to walk out on my job, grab my son and surfboard and travel the world surfing!

The charismatic doctor and surfing champion Dorian Paskowitz languishes through 2 failed marriages during the conventional 1950s before having his epiphany in which he will be a "free spirit" and travel with his third wife and 9 children like a band of surfing vagabonds. The new lifestyle is great for the father who finds sensual and spiritual fulfillment; sadly, though, it's a prison for his children who must live without schooling, money for clothes, and the normal opportunity to meet kids their age.

This documentary does an excellent job of showing how these children navigate precariously through their one life as celebrities of counterculture and their second life of social dysfunction and resentment toward a father who wanted unlimited freedom for himself and draconian imprisonment for ...

This is a must have for any fan of the Cowboys. The historical disc is excellent, though brief, but the bonus disc is amazing since it contains the 1992 NFC Championship game against the 49ers in its entirety...well, almost, for it does speed up the 3rd quarter, which is odd since the rest is basically play by play, with replays even.

I'm a huge fan and loved every minute of it. I would also highly recommend the Super Bowl 2 disc as well for true fans.
