Rating: Summary: Great movie Review: I watch this movie whenever I am feeling down and it makes me happy! This is the best surfing video out there today.
Rating: Summary: Best surf movie. Ever. Review: If you can watch this movie and not want to immediately throw a board in the back of your car and head for the nearest airport, you've got some serious problems.Bruce Brown may have made other films, but this is by far his best. Perfection.
Rating: Summary: How it begain Review: If your a surfer, this is the way it began. I started surfing in 1962 when there was no such word as "Short Board" This was when Hap Jacobs, Dale Velsy, Bing Copland, Dewey Webber (just to name a few not forgetting "Greg Koll" started it all in Sothern California. This is a must see viedo for any one that surfs or wants to start. With all my love and respect to Mr. BRUCE BROWN!

Rating: Summary: GREAT!! Review: My dad used to surf, so I bought him this movie, because I remember him talking about it one time. I didn't know what to expect, but the first line Bruce Brown says ("For us it's the sport of surfiiiiinng!"said as a surfer bails out) tells you what kind of movie this is going to be. If you think this is going to be some lame travelouge, think again. It's fast paced, filled with a ton of laughs, and has some great photography. The best part of the movie is Bruce Brown, who throughout the film seems like your funniest friend telling you this long crazy story that you aren't sure went 100% how he told it, but is still entertaining as anything. Without any sound in the movie (besides music and his narration) you still get a good feeling about who the two protagonists Mike Hynson and Robert August are becuase of Brown's words. I watch this movie every summer, it gets me in the mood to try new things. You should see it, it's one of the most inspiriing movies of all time because these guys do something some people will never do,they live their dream.
Rating: Summary: A classic by our family's definition Review: My two sons constantly quote or refer to this movie. They are both avid surfers - in fact they are both serving in the Air Force and the first requirement of any base selection - "is there surf?" This is must for any surfers' or even wanna-be surfer's library.
Rating: Summary: and the oscar goes to...... Review: one of the best roles the sea ever played on a film- actually there are others,but this is one of his early best-they should've given him an oscar for best role.and the sun should've got a best supporting role.you really fall in love with the sun in the first scene.and the kind of film used to picture it ,gave him that vivid handsome look. i never surfed before.the closest time i got to surfing,was back in my office boy days,when i used to stand upon the trolley ,in the elevator,and get into a surfer pose.i'm an ugly rita meter maid now. bbc's talking movies introduced me to this film,when they interviewed dana brown, bruce brown's son who made a surfing doc called (step into liquid). the endless summer,great surfing,great waves,beautiful sun,sand surfing! and bruce brown's amusing and funny narration ,is one groovy enjoyable ride.
Rating: Summary: TELL ME HOW TO FIND THE ORIGINAL MOVIE POSTER!!! Review: Somebody PLEASE help me locate the original poster for "The Endless Summer" movie. Any suggestions?
Rating: Summary: Friendship Forever Review: The "plot" of this film is almost absurdly simple: two clean cut, kind, affable guys touring the world in search of the perfect wave. A previous review hit the nail on the head -- "Endless Summer" documents a time and place in American history that will likely never be repeated -- ever. It's not the storyline that is unique, it is the innocence of its two lead characters, Robert August and Mike Hynson, and the absolute lack of any dramatic devices or political overtones in the film. Truly refreshing, and for the uninitiated, a revelation. It makes one realize the highest, most satisfying, most long-term form of relationship is indeed friendship.
