Rating: 5 stars
Summary: brilliant
Review: This all-time classic movie finally receives the wonderful dvd treatment it so richly deserves.A fantastic anamorphic transfer and a masterful sound remix make this film more enjoyable than ever.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sheer film perfection
Review: Except for a few bitter, miserable, cynical Eastern pseudo-intellectual types, this film is universally loved. What's not to love? Let's list some of my favorite things about this movie: A breathtaking score by Richard Rodgers, a lush orchestration of the same, sun washed cinematography, wonderful scenery of Austria, vocals by the three octave range Andrews and the children, a fun story line with just enough history to teach us something, an intriguing romance, and not one foul word, stabbing, overblown special effect, sex perversion or bloodstain to spoil it all. The editing is so good that it is unnoticeable - but effective. If you hate this film, you are probably "seriously maladjusted" (as Richard Rodgers said about a critic who despised the film because its wholesome children and theme). Everyone else, enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Timeless Musical
Review: I love this movie. And I'm a young lady who was raised with musicals. But it's my number 1. Julie Andrews is beautiful in this and I love the scenery and I love the Music.Plus there is not one bad actor or actress in that entire film.If you have not seen "Sound of Music" you are missing out on a great film.It's a great movie that both you and kids can enjoy together. Don't wait another day to by the DVD.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good, but not great...
Review: Although "The Sound of Music" is a cute movie, it isn't one of the best musicals. I enjoyed the story line and I love the songs(and Julie Andrews), but "The Sound of Music" just doesn't seem as great as some of the other musicals out their(which seems odd since it's based on a true story). I own the movie and every once in a while I'll watch it with the kids I babysit, but I still don't think it's an amazing movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Favorite Movie
Review: This movie has been my favorite since I first saw it - about 16 years ago, in kindergarten! I LOVE it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic and must have for your collection!
Review: I grew up with the Sound of Music! This is a great DVD with lots of "extras". Add this to your collection, you won't be disappointed!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Follow Every Rainbow...
Review: This is one of the best movie musicals of all time. It tells the true story of novice nun Maria, who is sent to be a nanny for a retired captain (Christopher Plummer) and his seven children. The captain is still sad over the loss of his wife, and distances himself from the kids. He becomes engaged to a snooty baroness (Eleanor Parker), who dislikes children and is especially jealous of the pretty, young novice. Maria is quite the singer, and in no time she has the kids, and their father, singing Austrian folksongs all over the countryside, and soon, she and the captain marry. The story takes a serious turn as Germany annexes Austria, and the captain is ordered to report for duty in Hitler's forces.

Julie Andrews radiates confidence and joy in song after song, many of which have become familiar to everyone, especially Edelweiss, Doe, A Deer, and My Favorite Things. Her voice is pitch perfect and she looks great with Christopher Plummer. Salzburg is so beautiful, no wonder they sang all the time. This is a charming, romantic, and exciting musical the whole family will enjoy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best movie ever made!!!!!
Review: When I first watched this movie,I was 7. Since then,Iv'e watched it around 100!!!!!! TIMES!!!! My favorite song is "Edelweiss",and my favorite part is when Captain Vontrapp sings "Edelweiss" at the concert. (My mom allways cries at that part.) This is a 'must have' movie!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: splendid movie
Review: what can I say - it's timeless - fantastic family movie

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: DVD extras are worth it
Review: I really don't feel the need to tell you my opinion of the movie since there are hundreds of other reviews out there. This review is if you are considering upgrading your VHS to the DVD. I HIGHLY recommend the DVD. A one-hour making of documentary, theatrical trailers, great stuff. Definitely one of the better DVD "extra" packages out there.
