 "The Sound of Music" still Wonderful!Aug 12, 2010
My granddaughter has the lead in a local theatre groups production this fall. The theatre company had a VHS version of the movie for study, but I saw this 2-disc version and thought it would give a deeper appreciation of it. Sure enough, my granddaughter was thrilled and has influenced other actors in the play to also get copies for themselves. It's wonderful, as always!

 eb whiteAug 11, 2010
I am giving this film one star, not because I hate it, but, because the owners of this movie (FOX) have gotten enough money out of my pocket for it. I bought the VHS, the Laser Disc with the soundtrack, and the DVD. To expect anyone to pay $90 for a copy (even if it is in Blu-ray) is rediculous. I can certainly see why there are those who pirate movies. The film companies, like FOX and WB's, encourage it. For those of us who pay the price and actually buy it, they put obnoxious music and anti piracy ads in front of the film. Plus, expect us to pay top dollar for it. (Or in WB's case, give us the theatrical version rather than the extended version.) I will watch this exceptional movie on DVD and skip through the ad, thank you, FOX! You won't get another dime for it from me! Not until you rethink your pricing, that is. $90, who are you kidding?
 fantastic movie with lovely songsAug 05, 2010
i adore this movie. most people already know what the movie is about or have seen it, so this review is for this particular edition.
i watched all the extras on the two dvds and while they are interesting and enjoyable, after awhile it seems like there are repeats of certain behind the scene details or stories. i dont mind this because i have watched this movie ever since i was a kid and i will continue watching it. i just wanted to mention the special features start feeling all the same when you sit and watch them through.

What gives pricewise?Jul 24, 2010
This comment refers only to the upcoming Blu-ray release. The price, here on Amazon, started at $62.99 and now it's jumped to $80.99. And this movie hasn't even been issued on Blu-Ray yet! To quote Moe the bartender----"Whaaaaaa?" Think I'll wait till the price drops to between $15.00 - $20.00 where it should be for a single disc Blue-ray edition.
A really beautiful movieJul 23, 2010
This clasic movie is one of my favourites, when I was 10 years old was the first time that I've watched this movie, only with Spanish voices without subtitles on English on the songs. This edition came with two DVDs, one is the movie with Spanish subtitles, the other one the extras, very interestings, sadly only on English without subtitles, but If you know something of English you can understand it.
