When will they put this amazing film out on DVD? I am shocked and enraged at the fact that this incredible film has not been released on DVD. Cinematography is amazing, the plot is amazing, the acting is for the most part amazing...I cannot wait for someone to realize this SHOULD be on dvd.

A truly great movie, true to the book it is based on. Please release it on DVD soon, I've been waiting a long time!

3 hour and 6 minute story of why man shouldn't fool with nature and why man shouldn't try to impose his will on others.

Where Is It?
Added 7/17/2008
Where is it? I echo previous reviewers asking why this classic has not been released on DVD. A burnt-out reviewer like Terrence Rafferty (The New Yorker) pans it, but real people who do not live on Manhattan's Upper West Side see virtue in the film. I'm among them and so, happily, is Roger Ebert. Among the many things I like about the film is its portrayal of the wise, patient Catholic priest, who has seen it all yet seems to have retained his faith in a very trying setting and has put his hope where it belongs--in the impenetrable workings of the Holy Spirit.
I also respect and admire the passionate relationship (there's no other word for it) between Moon and Wolfie. Both Berenger and Waits are terrific, but I'd argue Waits steals the show.
The movie aparently cost a bundle and lost money, so the director is ostracized by the moguls. Thank goodness for producers like Saul Zaentz.

Not Your Field of Dreams
Added 9/13/2009
Bought this movie (based on reviews) prior to a trip to Ireland. DEPRESSING movie. It is not one that will make you want to see the Irish countryside or meet the people. (As a side note: both the Ireland and its people are lovely!) The only thing I could identify with was the hard work that went into preparing the land for cultivation by removing all of the rocks and mucking the land. The rest of the movie seemed to be poorly written fiction with "name" actors who did not measure up to their meager roles. This movie is best left in the jewel case or on the shelf.

Nicely done

Great film. Tom Berringer is a bit stiff and his role as an American is very stereotypical. Luckily he gets killed in the movie before he can speak too much. Harris is EXCELLENT!

Stunningly emotional film
Added 7/25/2009
This is a well acted, well written, heartrending movie. What stuck me when I saw this in the theater was that as the credits were rolling not a soul moved. No one got up, no one spoke; that's how powerfully moving this film is. The first time you see it, it can take your breath away.
