  • I've seen this movie. One of the most powerful films ever made.

  • Always remember Bruce Dern exploding when he finds out what's been going on between Voight and Fonda. It was the rudest thing i'd ever heard upto that point.

  • I was 12 when I first saw this movie. Since then it has remained in my top 5 favorite films of all time.

  • I love/loved this film! Loved the music, too. The sad thing is that Voight somehow went off the rails.....changed his worldview,is Extreme Conservative now--and let his daughter slip away from him, forever.Nothing should sever the parental bond,except murder or

    some unspeakabe offense.But Fonda &Voight, in this beautiful film

    continue to amaze and instruct. Ron Kovic was pleased-he was the template for the Voight character. Ms.Centrum 04

  • Love this movie. I saw it when it first came out and am still moved by it.

  • I loved this movie--Loved Jon VOight and Jane Fonda in it. I have seen it many times. Great director too.

  • great great great

  • Good god, you Jane Fonda "haters" are the biggest imbeciles on the internet. She went to Vietnam to protest the Americans who were fighting a useless war. Why can't you idiots figure that out?

  • I just watched this movie last night on HBO after not having seen it for over 30 years. It's painfully dated. The story is limp and the dialogue is, mostly, flat. Fonda's performance is a dull as her character in the movie. Her Oscar in 1971 for "Klute" was richly deserved. Fonda's award for "Coming Home" should have been given to Jill Clayburgh ("An Unmarried Woman") or Ingrid Bergman ("Autumn Sonata").

  • I watched this movie for the first time in a long time last night. I think this movie is as provocative as it was the day it was released. I agree that's it's neither pro-war nor anti-war. It just tells the absolute truth. I wish that there were some people who could open their minds, and see this movie for what it is - and just put their negative opinions about Jane Fonda out of their minds.

  • @jimmi144 

  • THis film is so fine. I do not why it is very underrated. WOW! Angeline has the same smile as Jon.

  • Great film. The cast were all superb. Loved Jon Voight and Bruce Dern the best though!

  • Jane Fonda is a traitor and a whore. A traitor first, a whore second. This film was, I guess, supposed to be some sort of conciliatory gesture after she parked her snatch on an artillery weapon and said publicly that she hoped it shot down american troops. I hope the gooks cleaned it good after that, otherwise it probably would have rusted clean through. Whore.

  • The message is still a good one. Stop the war, praise our veterans, try and topple bad governments by peaceful means. Still I get what you mean. Jane fonda is still despised for what she did to those POWs

  • @swastikausa I agree--ten years after said it all in "I'd love to change the world." Jane Fonda had cuntmaggots inserted into her feurdj by Roger Vadim after he dumped his "Aisha" for Fonda. She is a whore, and she should be prosecuted for war crimes. She probably caused countless numbers of our troops to die through her vile propaganda. She has never apologized--she tried once, but it was simply flatulence emitting from her "ego." Whore. We call those things "ego farts" where I come from.

  • the best thing would have been to make her stay in north vietnam like those guys who defected to north korea. MIAs still live

  • swastikausa:You poor ignorant, hate-filled fool. This is past.There's no evidence for your ridiculous rantings.....I feel sorry for you.Voight is a super conservative now.Fonda is a Christian,elegant, elequent, and has asked for forgiveness for her

    unwise comments in those Viet Nam clips--and has received it,from all thinking folk. I don't know where you come "from," but if NO ONE is ever forgiven there, for things said in haste or error? You come from HELL. Just want to vent.ok.

  • @swastikausa she didn't "do" anything--and what's worse? YOU know that. mscentrum04

  • wow, this company is being very dickish and have a very poor grasp of marketing strategies in modern times. For sure I'm gonna download this movie and not let them have a cent.

  • Can someone show this movie here?

  • The following mail was sent to WMG.

    It proposes correspondence to the copyright in your YouTube.

    I think that the production company should not insist on the copyright of the movie's trailer. The user who loves this movie is advertising it with YouTube. I think that I become advertising doesn't cost for the production company.

    Originally, wasn't the preview an advertising material?

  • Dern's performance was winning as well...

  • one of those strange marvelous movies. a unfaithful jane fonda (brucer dern was the husban i think) wife war victim...

  • What! You can't even show trailers now? How does showing a trailer to this film endanger the studio? Laaaaaaaaaame.

  • It had the Bookends Theme by Simon and Garfunkel, I figure that's why it got removed, lame though.

  • sweet , sad movie about how war affects those back home-immense emotional acting power of realistic of a scenario. great soundtrack.

  • I approved of "Coming Home"--particularly of the characters portrayed by John Voight and Jane Fonda. You Vietnam veteran types are still unable to accept reality after 40 years. The USA lost the Vietnam War. You did not protect freedom there. You and Lyndon Johnson murdered millions of Southeast Asians in what was essentially a civil war. Your nation LOST that war and left with her tail between her legs. Your nation is not invincible and your nation is not always right.

  • Fantástico filme, apesar de antigo! Jon Voight e Jane Fonda no seu melhor.

  • It also has probably THE greatest 60s soundtrack of all time, just a phenomenal use of the era's best songs used in an unforgettable way. "Coming Home" is an absolute masterpiece.

  • One of the most emotionally powerful films Ive ever seen.

  • Hanoi Jane

  • I must see this. I love Hal Ashby.

  • Cool, they used "Bookends" for the trailer.

  • oh i thought i heard that song somwhere haha.

  • The movie moving and deeply passionate movie I have ever seen. It stays with you well past when it ends. Incredible acting....

  • Great film with superb performances from Voight, Fonda and Dern.

  • Always loved this movie and so glad to see that I´m not the only one!

  • The ending to that movie has to be the one of the sadest of all time. Thanks vets for all you did---oh---welcome home boys!!!!!!!!

  • Bruce Dern should be locked up..he's a movie thief,,,he was Terrific!

  • can some one please please please put the full film on i want to see it! x

  • I have heard Vietnam veterans say that there are very few movies made that showed any realty of what it was like for them; they listed Coming Home as one of the few.

  • full metal jacket, go tell the spartans, and the boys from company C

  • mrmethos1, that's true, but i think 'born on the 4th of july' is the best, and especially does a great job at showing what the va was like back then (and still is in some parts of the country). i think it's the best because it's actually based off a true story (audobiography by ron kovic) and was made by oliver stone, who knew what he was doing. the girlfriend wasn't a real character but she was put in it for a reason - probably helped contrast this movie's message, although i've never seen it.

  • Yes, "Born On The 4th Of July" was historically accurate as well. Thanks for your input.

  • I also love this movie and watch it at least once a year. Taped it on VHS then transferred the tape to DVD. Excellent movie, excellent cast, excellent soundtrack. This movie has the power to move me to tears each time I watch it..This movie captured a piece of time perfectly. Ty for sharing it.

  • timeless fits in today no much has changed other than the faces in 30 years

  • You missed the whole point grunt. Jon Voight saw the LIE that resided at the heart of the Vietnam War. A similar lie in Iraq.

    If one must kill thousands of innocent people in order to WIN a war, then perhaps that war is not worth winning.

  • Comment removed

  • And what do you suggest be done when terrorists and communists want to rule the world? Their willingness to fight is the reason you can sit on your candy-ass and spout your opinions in the "free" world. How proud YOU must be. Freedom isn't free and if you can't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them. Wife and daughter of servicemen.

  • I dont think the film is just about the wrongness of our part in that war or even of wars in general, I think it was about the emotional and physical effects that it has on the people who were (at the time) forced to fight in it. That it came out at a time when American youth no longer had that threat hanging over them (and thus preferred Star Wars and videogames) is another irony. I dont think the film is strictly pro or anti war, its just the simple tragic truth, in all it's complexity.

  • @donjsnyder Just so you know, the latest wikileaks on confidential information reveal that nuclear chemical labs and burrows housing warheads were found in Iraq during the stages of the war. So you were wrong, the Iraq war was not a lie.

  • @donjsnyder: You are in grave error.please inform yourself.mscentrum04 2012

  • Coming Home is one of my favorite films. I have it on DVD and I watch it once a year. I LOVE this film!  Jane Fonda is at her best. She is a wonderful actress. Jon Voight, (& Bruce Dern) were both amazing. This is one of the best films ever made.

  • I couldn't agee more with your comment. I'm a fan of Jane Fonda, never been one but she was terrific in this film and Jon Voight and Bruce Dern are both fine actors. This is indeed one of the best movies ever made without a doubt.

  • You must have missed Barberella!

  • @CR65 Agree.

  • can someone send me the cd of this movie post vietnam war we dont get this movie in India thanx u

  • De Niro deserved the Best Actor Oscar more

  • No Way!

  • Excelente film y mejores interpretaciones. La muestra de que en Hollywood a veces hacen producciones buenas, más allá de los grandes efectos especiales. Gracias.

  • OK. Where the movie wins it its HONESTY. All of the actors deserved their Oscar nominations. Penelope Milford who was also nominated doesn't get much credit. I believe she brought so much powerful feeling in her performance, that her performance touched me the most. I don't want to give too much of the movie away,but when her brother passed away, you could feel Milford's pain. At that moment, her performance became sublime! Voight was great! Fonda good. Dern good also.

  • Excellent movie with remarkable performances from its gifted cast. One of the first movies that deals in depth with the war in Vietnam.

  • One of my favorite movies ever. Their is not one frame of combat in this film, but it told the story of a vet so well. Fonda and Voight both were outstanding.

  • Any chance of posting the OPENING with Bruce Dern Jogging on the Base with the RS'S Tune:"Out Of time"? Great song,that to me SIGNS this Movie.

  • Great Movie,Saw it when it came out.Terrific use of Source music,and bruce Dern REALLY Steals the Picture,with his BEST work ever!

  • I watch this movie with mixed emotions. My husband was a Marine in Chu Lai and Da Nang during the Tet Offensive that finally swayed opinion on that war. I can only watch when my husband isn't home. The most moving antiwar song ever is Tim Buckley's Once I Was. Peace

  • I like the Simon and Garfunkel and Rolling Stones song(s) they use. I have never seen this movie. I was looking at pictures of old movie theaters and saw this title mentioned. I am glad I did b/c this is a good preview. Thanks for posting. I'll see if they have it for rent.

  • One of my favorite movies ever. Jane Fonda, Bruce Dern, and John Voight are just plain excellent. Oscars all around. And it really shows that Jane Fonda was FOR the troops just not the war with this movie.

  • Fans of this movie, please post comments. This magnificent film has gone unnoticed by too many yet I feel it's one of the rarest and most genuine post-Vietnam accounts ever created on a film. I think Jane Fonda and especially Jon Voight totally deserved their Academy Awards and though Bruce Dern failed to win, I think he is excellent in this movie. Thank you for reading this and enjoy the trailer.

  • it really captured the Vietnam War on the domestic from beautifully and without bias. And, it shows a current thread of thought towards our troops too, by showing the lack of health care they so deserve for serving our country.

  • do you have the whole movie?? can you post it? I've never seen it.

  • you can get it on DVD too.

  • I do love this movie.  Think I'll try to find it on Amazon or Ebay.

  • @finecanbrothers Excelllent post. Dern should have won for Best Actor.

    My Ring tone is "WHAT I'M SAYING ISSSSSSSSS!"

  • @finecanbrothers I have enjoyed this film also, thats why I was looking for it; the music was great also, I remember "Out of time", by the Stones, playing at the begining with bruce Dern running along a white line on a street.

  • @finecanbrothers

    Just watched this for the first time and I was really moved by it. The performances of Jane Fonda and John Voight are quite brilliant. This combined with whole look,feel and message create a memorable film which kept me wondering for a long time. It Shows that no matter how much mioney and CGI you throw at films today they somehow never quite have the same affect as films from this era. Thanks.
