Summary: A must have in your DVD collection!
Review: I got my DVD version from Amazon yesterday (3/13/03), a replacement for my battered VHS tape. I've noticed some scenes in the movie trailer that were not in the movie, and I don't know why they were excluded from it. The digital enhanced video is overwhelmingly better than the VHS, but I wish the digital cameras were available back when they filmed this movie. The digital audio really puts you in the middle of the actions. One regret, I wish I had seen this movie in the theater when it came out. I can't wait to go sailing in a laser this summer...

Summary: 1 of the 10 best Sports Event Movies EVER... On DVD AT LAST!
Review: It's been more then a decade since this sleeper cult hit was in the theaters and an equally long period of time that this film was only available on VHS and Laserdisc. Now, at long last, the wait is over! Wind appeals for a number of reasons. Primarily its a very human story of ambition, competition, love, loss, and redemption. What makes the film work is fantastic photography/camerawork by Mata Yamamoto, a soaring/pumping soundtrack by Basil Poledouris, and a compelling drama played out by some very brainy characters played by some very good actors. Think of it as "The Cutting Edge" and "Strictly Ballroom" with a little more testosterone and in a sailboat! The DVD is pretty bare-bones, but a Digital Widescreen Hi-Definition Remastering and Dolby surround make up for it. A Special Edition would have been nice, but, considering how long we had to pray for this one it's hardly required.
