1941 (1999, DVD)

To put it as simply as possible: 1941 is a very, very funny movie. It has some of the same actors that had roles in Animal House, so anyone who's seen that probably has some idea of how this movie might be. One thing to note though, is that this movie is nowhere near as dirty as Animal House is. It's quite a bit more family friendly. All in all, great movie. If you like funny movies with quirky storylines and a bit of action, then this is most definitely for you.

This was an outstanding comedy of errors!!! John Belushi was excellent and more than outstanding and as usual Dan Akroyd made the film along with an excellent supportive cast and Master Photography! I have both the Store Bought VHS & and home made one!

I expected much better from Steven Spielburg. Likewise for all the big name talent in front of the camera. It was a dull movie with too much slapstick comedy and lacked the depth I was expecting from such a talented crew. I don't know what happened but this is not the way to make a good movie.

While overall this movie is inconsistent and disappoints at times, it contains some scenes that are some of my all-time favorites in cinema. These sublime moments make up for the dumb parts of the film.

Particularly hilarious are Slim Pickens' scenes! The scene where Slim describes each ridiculous object the Japanese sailors have confiscated from him is just hysterical.

You gotta' love Warren Oates' portrayal of the paranoid home defense force commander - "...check 'im for stilts..."

Dan Aykroyd with two oranges covering his eyes and wearing pantyhose on his head saying, "I'm a bug"! is also a classic.

The music is great, especially John Williams' own swing music creation, "Swing, Swing, Swing" (a parody of the big band classic, "Sing, Sing, Sing") used during the USO scene. How about the big names sitting in on that recording session? Louie Bellson plays drums and Abe Most plays clarinet - both (may Abe rest in peace) are musical giants and their playing is inspired on this song. The brass section is hot, too, and playing about as tightly together as you will ever hear, especially the trombones, right up to the frenzied, awesome finale. Get the soundtrack recording - it is fun. Listen to the swing music song from Disney's, "The Emperor's New Groove" animated film: Clearly it owes some homage to this song in "1941."

Get "1941." Watch it. Fast forward through the dumb scenes. Enjoy the sublime scenes.

1941 is one of the movies I played in being a sailor. The first time I saw it when it first came out I did not like it at all. It was filmed in 1979. Going from scene to a completely different scene constantly bored me. But now I like it a lot. I find it very funny, and entertaining.

Good spoof on all the craziness that went on after the Japenese attack on Pearl Harbor. The period aircraft are very impressive,and the military equipment was very accurate. All in all a very good movie with a great cast.This is a movie i can watch over and over and never get tired of it

I would do business with a again. The item was shipped quick and was brand new just like described. Communication was good on when the item was shipped.

Could not deliver this movie. It was on the web page but after two weeks they recreated my account. I hade to contact them.

I bought this because it is a hilarious movie with a good amount of starpower. Steven Spielberg directed this movie. I bought this to add to my collection.
It is a story of west coast nerves just after the Pearl Harbor attack. John Belushi as Wild Bill Kelso was pefect for this role. It also stars Dan Ackroyd, Tim Matheson, Robert Stack, John Candy, and the list goes on.

great seller would buy from again. the movie was great, fast shipment, no scratches and worked perfect.

cool title ! awesome service ! nice seller! great deal ! quick shipping ! shop here first ! wow ! super quick shipping

1941. I saw this movie again for the first time in about 15 years and I forgot just how funny it is. So many popular actors. If you haven't seen this movie, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to night of laughs.

this movie is choc full of top notch actors and actresses. Funny in full effect, highly reccomend it

The critics who boo'ed this film back in 1979 should have gone out and got real jobs, for they missed the mark completely. They attempted to take a screwball spoof-comdy too serious! 1941 was just a wacky film that allowed new writers, and many great actors to have a good time while filming. John Belushi is a total riot in this movie! I've enjoyed this feature for many years, and will continue to do so for years to come. Give this one a chance. If it don't make you laugh... make an appointment to get your funny-bone fixed! :)

I loved this movie. The music was great and correct for the year 1941. The P40A was painted and marked correctly for the time period and so was the General Grant army Tank. I loved the scene where John Belushi "side slipped" his P40A down to a landing on that narrow road at the gasoline station. Also loved the scene where Belushi flew his plane down in the Grand Canyon sloshed down his coke and did a "barrel roll" as he flew out of the canyon. Each character was funny in their own way. Lorraine Gray could not have been cutier. I have no complaints about the movie. I can watch it over and over. My wife thinks I'm crazy, but that is ok. She just don't know how the appreciate the finer things in life.

Dan Ackroyd, John Belushi and so much fun! A comic account of the madness on the west coast that followed the attack on Pearl Harbor. Great John Williams soundtrack and fun dialogue.

I like the satire and physical comedy. I decided to buy it on ebay because it was cheaper than in retail stores even with shipping.

My husband loved it!!! Great to know that we could still get a copy of it and in A+++ condition. I bought it as a gift for my husband..
