Standard Screen; Additional Footage; Soundtrack English Herman Wouk's THE WINDS OF WAR is a sweeping historical epic about a U.S. naval officer (Robert Mitchum) who, along with his globe-spanning family, plunges into the firestorm of World War II and witnesses the incredible behind-the-scenes worlds of Hitler, Churchill, Roosevelt, Mussolini, and Stalin. This acclaimed television mini-series features stellar talent--including Ali McGraw, John Houseman, Polly Bergen, David Dukes, and Ralph Bellamy--and was shot on location in six different countries, lending authenticity to its tale of global military involvement.

Winds Of War Movie Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   GREAT!
I have read the book and the movie matches closely to the author's words. In fact, the movie brings the images to life. I think the acting is supurb by all individuals involved in the plot. Even though I know somewhat what is going to happen, I still figit in my seat waiting for the dramatic scene to unfold. Ali McGraw should have gotten an award for her portral of Nattile Jastrow, if she had not already received one.
All in all, I like the series very much, and recommend it to WW2 buffs who like Hollywood drama mixed with facts about WW2.
As the English would say, good show.

 Worth every penny!
I had taped it when it first appeatred on TV, with commercials. It is so much better in DVD format. I have always loved Robert Mitchum with his deadpan expressions. I will be in the process of obtaining War and Remebrance soon.

One of the most exhilarating and influential trilogies in the history of motion pictures, George Lucas's sci-fi spectacular continues to capture the hearts and minds of individuals throughout the world. This release contains the STAR WARS trilogy (episodes IV-VI) in one glorious package.
First up is STAR WARS; George Lucas's stunning sci-fi masterpiece, and arguably one of the most inventive and entertaining films ever made. As the adventure begins, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), an impulsive but goodhearted young man who lives on the dusty planet of Tatooine with his aunt and uncle, longs for the exciting life of a Rebel soldier. The Rebels, led by the headstrong Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), are fighting against the evil Empire, which has set about destroying planets inhabited by innocent citizens with the Death Star, a fearsome planetlike craft commanded by Grand Moff Tarkin (Peter Cushing) and the eternally frightful Darth Vader (David Prowse, with the voice of James Earl Jones). When Luke's aunt and uncle are murdered by the Empire's imperial stormtroopers and he mysteriously finds a distress message from Princess Leia in one of his androids, R2-D2 (Kenny Baker), he must set out to find Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness), a mysterious old hermit with incredible powers. On his journey, Luke is aided by the roguish, sarcastic mercenary Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and his towering furry sidekick ...

Kevin Costner stars as Earl Brooks, a man whose seemingly perfect family and status in the community hide an ugly secret. Brooks constantly says the plea of an addict--the Serenity Prayer--but he's not in the grip of drugs or alcohol. Instead, his neat little bow tie belies a man with an urge to kill. Though he's staved off that desire for two years, it has returned thanks to the efforts of his evil inner voice (William Hurt, A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE). He is caught in the act by a man who calls himself Mr. Smith (Dane Cook, EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH), but Mr. Smith doesn't want to turn Brooks in. The smarmy amateur photographer wants to learn from Brooks's methodical ways and become a killer himself. Meanwhile, a tough cop (Demi Moore, BOBBY) hunts for the man responsible for deaths all over Portland while she deals with issues in her own life.
