The Dam Busters (DVD 2003)

In my opinion this is not only one of the best British made war films, but one of the best British made films of all time. A fantastic cast, historically accurate and wonderfully made it still stands out as a great film over 50 years after its release. This version is the one before the political correctness obsessed got to it, so those who are familiar with KEY elements to the true story will know what i am referring to and will be pleased to hear that they remain, ensuring the historical accuracy. This is a must-have film.

This film is based on the RAF Lancaster Crew's who trained specifically to target the Dams on the River Ruhr to drop their bouncing bombs. This film pays tribute to Dr Barnes Wallis and the crews of RAF who sucessfully achieved their mission.
The film is shot in black and white and is a good one. Set in World War II.

I loved it because my brother, for whom I bought it, had been trying to find a copy of this film for many months, not only in the UK but all over the World - he lives in Dubai and travels exensively. He was absolutely thrilled with the film. It was an original 'copy' and not a fake reproduction. It brought back happy memories of when my brother and I (along with my 5 other brothers) watched the film on TV.

This is as great classic black and white movie. The Dambusters theme cannot fail to evoke a feeling of pride in what our flyers achieved during World War 2.
Well worth viewing over and over again.

Period piece but thoughtful performance by Redgrave as Barnes Wallis. One of the classic WW2 movies, with THE great title music (by Eric Coates). The Dam Busters, made in the 50's, was shot in black and white so that authentic footage, particularly of the testing of Wallis's famous bouncing bomb, could be seemlessly included.

I bought it for husband he was really pleased with it not really my type of film it is an interesting film if you like old films or if you're intereted inwar type films

Decided to buy this old war film for my 9 year old nephew...Sam....he is heavily into Lancaster bombers,and when we watched it together,he couldn't keep his eyes off it :)) and when it finished he said it was the best film he had ever seen ..ha ha ha my job is done !!! But i really enjoyed the film too...all about the bouncing bomb....more children should be taught about british wartime history.Very happy with my purchase!

This is a fantastic film chronicling one of the invention of Barnes Wallis and the formation of 617 Squadron. Guy Gibson leads the dare devil low flying attack on the Ruhr Valley dams. Even in todays hi-Tec action packed films this is still a classic that stands head and shoulders above the others.

Its a classic war film. It tells the true story about a daring raid in WW2.I decided to buy the DVD because i am collecting war films.

I was delighted to be able to buy this old film on DVD as my father was with Bomber Command during the war and was actually on that raid.
He was a 'Dam Busters' and recently died aged 96.
