DVD A Bridge Too Far [Blu-ray]
Books and Publications Average Rating:

Rating: - The best World War II movie
The film tells the story of Operation Market-Garden, and its ultimate failure, the Allied attempt to break through German lines and seize several bridges, with the main objective the bridge over the Lower Rhine (Neder Rijn) River, in the occupied Netherlands during World War II.

Very good audio and video quality, great actors and war scenes.

Rating: - The best WWII Film
In my opinion, this is the best WWII movie ever made. Actually depicts the politics that went on behind the scenes as well as the action on the field.

Rating: - Very good
Still the best made war movie of all time, just not an allied victory so it never got its' due. The Bluray version has better sound quality than the conventional one, but the picture isn't vastly improved so you can live without the Bluray if need be.

Rating: - Another Cornelius Ryan epic
Based on the Ryan book, Richard Attenborough's epic war movie is the largest of it's kind since THE LONGEST DAY. However, this was a totally different chapter from WWII with vastly different results. Operation Market Garden, an ill-conceived Bernard Law Montgomery plan to seize the bridges leading into the industrial Ruhr Valley of Germany by using paratroopers to take and hold the bridge for British armor that would smash it's way into Germany. No one realized that two SS Panzer divisions had been placed in the area for R&R before the intended battle with Patton's 3rd Army. Great cast: Sean Connery, Michael Caine, Laurence Olivier, James Caan, Dirk Bogarde, Anthony Hopkins, and many others.
