Format:VHS Tape
Although many people find this film largely unfunny I find it hilarious. They got John Belushi to play the same kind of character that he did in Animal House and, in my opinion, it works!! Dan Aykroyd is also as funny as ever, he gets a bump on the head and does some crazy things that are sure to make you laugh. This film is worth renting just to see John Belushi's many comedy falls and Dan Aykroyd's impression of a bug.

For those who are curious, here are the details of the Dvd.
This Dvd features the original, shorter, theatrical cut of the film, running 1 hour 54 minutes. The picture and sound are remastered and is miles better than the older U.S. disc. It is also 16:9 enhanced for you widescreen TV.
The extras are the same as the older U.S. disc, but come on a 2nd disc instead of cramming it all onto one. Even the menus are the same as the decade-old American release.
Making of 1941 (Almost as long as the film).
Deleted scenes
Original Trailers
Production photos
One thing the US disc has that this new one doesn't, is the John Williams Isolated Score.
Overall I highly recommend this.
If you want the longer cut you can still pick it up cheap.

Format:DVD
This is the funniest film of the 20th century and by far, the best film Steven Spielberg has ever directed. The reason it has never been given the critical acclaim it deserves is due to the American inability to laugh at itself. It is brilliant from the first minute to the last.

Great film!
I personally love this film. It's full of daft humor which is what I go for. Lots of Jaws references through-out, but all in a tongue-in-cheek manner. Read more

A lot of noise...
The Directors Cut of this film is actually better than the Theatrical Version. But still the movie is not funny, even though Belushi and Slim Pickens have their moments. Read more

1941 - an under-rated classic
I love this film; in fact, I've loved it since I first saw it, over 25 years ago. It's a very under-rated movie, many critics and film guides giving it around 3 out of 5, but I... Read more

Not Funny
Maybe people in Britain have a different sense of humor. This is Spielberg's worst movie. A flop. It just doesn't come together. Read more

Fun and games
1941 is a rather underated film. When it first came out it was virtually ignored but as time has gone on it has found its proper place in the lists.

A widely ignored film thatvis worth a watch.
This is an early Steven Spielberg film that did pretty badly on release.
However, I think it's pretty funny and has some really good scenes. Read more

A little known Spielberg film
Based in small town USA at the start of the US involvement in WW2 and the fear from Japanese invasion, this comedy film gives a fantastic portrail of the paranoia at the time. Read more
