Great movie! Good and fantasic scenery along with good acting! Energtic, filled with passion to see something through in life that is your dream. Very realistic in the realationships, that although one might have to leave to pursure one's dream this person never forgot his love and desire to share his dream with the person who encouarged the dream!

Great Movie
Added 3/17/2010
I could almost smell the ocean and feel the sun and wind on my face. I love this movie. It arrived in great condition and quickly as well.

Sailor? Gotta watch this
Added 2/22/2010
I don't know any sailor worth their salt that hasn't watched this. Yes, it's a chick-flick and it's got a lot of inaccuracies and it's quote hokey at times. But with so few sailing movies out there, this is a must-see....if for nothing else, so you can quote it. Everyone loves the whomper!

Memories of 8-Metre and 12-Metre Racing
Added 10/4/2009
This is the most incredible filming of 12-Metre racing and the one on one racing for THE CUP. I crewed on an 8-Metre ("Thisbe") on Lake Ontario in the early '60's. This flick brought back the chills of a win and the tears of a loss. Anyone with the slightest background in sailing would love "Wind", too.

Wind, a review of the DVD quality.
Added 9/20/2009
Being an old sailor I have enjoyed the movie "Wind" for years. It was one of the very few movies I bought on VHS. The love story is mildly dorky but the sailing scenes are wonderful and Jennifer Gray is cuter than a bug's ear. That said, I hoped the new DVD of "Wind" would knock my socks off on my 46" Sony LED flat screen. It didn't, until..oops..I sprung for the Sony BluRay player. I reckon my hope for something that would fill the medium screen crisply were dashed upon the rocks of reality for 13 bucks shipped. Don't buy it hoping it's crisp when filling the screen on your big screen TV....UNLESS you spring for a BluRay player. Then it's HD good. I've learned my lesson on this. Now I have the "set" of toys, it's a good movie, clean and crisp, and better than ever at that size.
