GIANT (1956) - James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor (DVD, Region All)

Good delivery. Film reminded me of past which was good.

Love this film

As far as 4K quality goes, it's hard to evaluate a movie like this, because, given its age, the scenes where it looks great are still marvelous, and compensate for some others where there's clearly some softness around the actors and some excessive grain, but again, this movie is almost 70 yrs old, so, I guess this is the best it CAN look, given the source material available. As for the movie itself, it's a sprawling family saga with undertones of race and class struggles and capitalism sprinkled throughout. The stereo sound is clear, without being spectacular, and, as for Special features there's only a commentary track, with George Stevens Jr, a film critic and the screenwriter.

Its a fantastic looking 4K UHD HDR disc from the recent restoration.Its not perfect some scenes look DVD level. Some have way too much DNR going on but this is because they did not have any better elements to work with.This is the best this can ever look. Overall its about 95% flawless. The minor issues are not fixable due to the film elements & how the scene fades were cut into the original negative.Great story great acting. James Dean, Rock Hudson & Elizabeth Taylor all in their prime making you realise just how natural their acting talents were.Must buy 4K UHD Disc release!!

I first watched this film whilst on holiday in America in 1980 and it has stayed with me. The recent death of Elizabeth Taylor prompted me to buy it on DVD and watch it again. What an amazing film! It is hugely long so don't try and watch it in one sitting - take your time and enjoy. I loved the story and the cast is brilliant - Liz Taylor, Rock Hudson, James Dean, Dennis Hopper. The chemistry between Hudson and Taylor was wonderful and their characters had real passion and humour. This classic is rarely if ever shown on TV and I just don't know why when there are so many rubbish films shown - perhaps it is the length. I will save it to watch again and again.

Old stuff is kinda peaceful at early night xx

I would advise everyone not to purchase Giant you see half of film the rest is documentaries about the film crew and the film stars ihave put it in the rubbish for collection tomorrow very disappointing

THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME GREATS. ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES MADE. I HAD TO LEAVE SOME OF MY MOVIES IN THE USA AS NOT COMPATIBLE HERE, SO HAD TO START OVER WITH SOME OF MY COLLECTION. THANKS TO THE SELLER FOR GETTING IT HERE ON TIME AND IN ONE PIECE. LIKE I SAID THOUGH I HAVEN'T TRIED TO PLAY IT YET AND I HAVE A 3D DVD WHICH WILL PLAY BOTH UK AND USA MOVIES.
