Rating: Summary: spectacular sailing footages but poor romantic story. Review: I agreed with every reader 's comment on this movie. It is the most spetacular sailing movie I ever see. But the love story was not directed with any meanings. Also I agree with others is: When will they release a DVD version of this movie?
Rating: Summary: AN ALLTIME FAVORITE!! Review: ONE OF THE HIDDEN TREASURES IN THE FILM LIBRARIES....A MUST BUY...ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES OUT ON DVD....AND I HOPE THAT'S SOONER THEN LATER.
Rating: Summary: One of the best films ever and still not on DVD? Review: Still one of my favorite movies of all time, it's a shame that the studio hasn't moved it to DVD format yet. Maybe the second time around in DVD it will get the acclaim it deserves.
Rating: Summary: More exhilarating than Chariots of Fire Review: This is a movie worth seeing. The photography and the sailing sequences are phenomenal. THe movie takes you off the edge of your seat and onto the screen.
Rating: Summary: A Visual Feast: Begs to be in DVD format Review: This is one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. The visuals of the ocean, the sail sequences, and the great soundtrack make this an astounding movie experience. For all you out there with the clout to get it done, get this movie on DVD.
Rating: Summary: Love Beats to Windward! Review: Please tell them to stop ruining good technical action films with hokey love stories. This film has the best footage of any sailing action I have ever seen, and I have been involved in same for some years now. This movie would have been a cult classic for the "sailnuts" if not for that weak plotline of Mathew Modine's and Jennifer Grey's on again, off again love story. No disrespect intended for the the cast, but those responsible for tainting this exciting story with mere human romantic foibles, should be keelhauled, lashed with the "cat", or better yet, forced to watch bad romance novels made into "B" movies (ala Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange"). Bad love story aside, this is a great flick to watch if you love sailing.
Rating: Summary: Unbelievable !!! Review: What an amazingly filmed picture. Does ANYONE know where I can get the soundtrack ? I have looked everywhere to no avail.
Rating: Summary: heart-bouncer Review: This is a movie that really makes me go crazy, not because of the women but because of the sailing first the international 14 then the america's cuppers. I really enjoyede the part where they design and build the new boat ( and the whomper )
Rating: Summary: Need this terrific movie in DVD format! Review: An Excellent sailing movie with a good storyline including the racing competition. Beautiful photography of boats, regattas and water. No need to be a sailor to enjoy this movie.Need to have this movie in DVD format. Tell the studio to get it done.
Rating: Summary: A great movie that will lift your sailing soul. Review: This movie has been a great inspiration for most of my teen life. I have never seen such a great portrail of the America's Cup. Why do you say? It's the only movie about the ever harsh life of sailor's that come into contact with a racing atmosphere in such a competitive environment. I believe that even the small detials of this movie such as the racing tactics were accounted for. This movie is a plus for sailing addicts, and family's all around.
