This is the story that inspired me to attempt to join the military. Couldn't though...flat footed. Anyway, back to the review. I have always loved this movie and when I saw this DVD, I had to get it. The commentaries are great and educational and the picture quality is fantastic. For those that love history and/or classic movies, buy this DVD. You will not be disappointed.

DVD Review: Brings back old memories
Summary: 5 Stars

Mom ordered this movie that we (her children) use to watch as kids. I decided to watch it after it arrived from amazon. Brings back old memories from my childhood years. The movie is great. Would recommend to anyone who is in the miltary and/or just likes old movies. Definitely 5 stars.

DVD Review: good background
Summary: 3 Stars

I saw this movie when I was a kid of course and now that I teach US History was hoping that it might work in place of the ever popular Saving Private Ryan. The movie is all about the background of the boys, how they grew up, the relationship they had as brothers, their fighting spirit and how they tried to make sure they stayed together in the military (in this case the Navy) during the war. I have to be honest, since I was looking at this film for use in my class I was hoping for more story of them on the ship but that part takes all of about 10 minutes. But as far as good old movies go - this is a delight.

Description of The Fighting Sullivans - Commemorative Edition

The Guts and Glory of the Navy! This is the movie that inspired "Saving Private Ryan." It's the true story of five brothers who fought and died together when their ship, the American cruiser Juneau, was sunk in the South Pacific during World War II. The Fighting Sullivans is something more than a worthy tribute to a pair of small town parents and the five sons they lost when the Juneau blew up in a battle off Guadalcanal on November 13, 1942. It is a heartwarming slice of Americana that will fill in the background of any number of Americans on the fighting front. The audience's awareness of the news in store for the Sullivan family adds considerably to the film's effect. The Fighting Sullivans generates emotion strictly on it's own terms and without bidding for tears. This Commemorative Edition marks the 63rd anniversary of the sinking of the Juneau. DVD features: 2005 Interview with Frank Holmgren (last living survivor of the sinking)| Video Inside the 5 Sullivan Brothers Veterans Museum| A message from Bob Neymeyer of the Grout Museum| Family Photos| Last Muster List| Memorials from family members| Survivor List| Juneau Action account letter by Lieutenant Roger W O'Neil - Mc-V (G) U S Naval Reserve| Personal Letters| Letter from President Franklin D Roosevelt| New Digital Transfer| Original Theatrical Trailer.
