Product Description

You are holding a piece of cinema history in your hands! For the first time ever, the film industry has thrown its archives open to create the definitive collection of the greatest war movies ever made! HEROES showcases the best scenes from the greatest war movies as chosen by you, the British public. And while you take in the epic land battles, explosive naval engagements, mind-blowing aerial duels and Oscar winning drama, know that for every £9.99 you spend all profits will go directly to helping our wounded Servicemen and women. Featuring scenes from: SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, SCHINDLER'S LIST, THE HURT LOCKER, PLATOON and many more! Help for Heroes raises money to support members of the Armed Forces who have been wounded in the service of their country. We ask our supporters to do their bit to show these extraordinary young men and women that they are cared for by us. Over a million people have responded to date and millions of pounds have been raised to buy much needed services that will aid their recovery, but we need more! So far, they have allocated almost all of the money they have raised in order to fund direct projects and support other service charities. - 'Everyone has their own favourite quote from a war film - which is why we believe this DVD will be a massive hit. The Sun is delighted to endorse it, and we will be driving people into the shops to buy it. It will be THE must-have present for Christmas 2009. Millions of Britons have decided they want to help our boys and girls - we urge you to join them and support this enormously important project.' - Tom Newton Dunn, Defence Editor, The Sun

3.0 out of 5 stars HEROES THE GREATEST WAR MOVIES EVER, 18 Feb 2010
By G. Walsh (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Heroes: Greatest War Movies Ever! (Help For Heroes Charity DVD) (DVD)
Perhaps I am naive but this DVD is advertised as 'Heroes. The Greatest War Movies.' I know its all for a good cause, (I myself am a great supporter of H4H and do my own fund raising) but it could easily be misconstruded as to be advertising the whole selection of named films, where in fact it is only showing a compilation of scenes from these films. So buyers beware. This is not made obvious by Amazon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great charity, 4 April 2010
By J. Lynch (Durham England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Heroes: Greatest War Movies Ever! (Help For Heroes Charity DVD) (DVD)
I purchased this DVD purely because a large proportion of the cost goes to a great charity. I like war movies and this is a good way of reminding me of what Ive seen and own and also what I haven't seen and may add to my wish list.
