There have bben so many great fil composers and I love listening to their work. Every time you hear a Williams score though, it reminds you that the master is in the house.
This movie is hilarious. I love military comedies, and I have to say...this is definately my favorite! Oh, and it is also THE BEST Christmas movie of all time!
I don't care what the public opinion or anyone says, 1941 is Steven Spielberg's best movie hands down, and all in all one of the best comedy films ever.
I find it strange that in his previous movie, Animal House, John Belushi is under the impression that the Germans were the ones who bombed Pearl Harbor. I am convinced to this day because of that one line, he got the part of Wild Bill Kelso who is after the Japs who bombed Pearl Harbor.
I love how Belushi is lost while flying over the Grand Canyon. Only the biggest landmark in the country. Also, I wonder if hat M-3 was "Lulu" by any chance (the tank from Bogart's movie Saraha)
I met and befriended Walter Olkewicz who played the character Hinshaw (John Candy's sidekick) I found out something about this Movie. I had a feeling about this movie so I asked him if there was as much Cocaine floating around that set as there seemed to be. He frowned at me and slowly nodded his head. That explained all the screaming in this movie, as made apparent during the closing credits. Still, One of my favorite comedies. Wild Bill Kelso is my hero!
I guess people take this film too much seriously. It was pure spoof on War and it worked. I love this movie very much. Steven Spielberg still never disappoints me. Also it was nice to see young Nancy Allen (Philadelphia Experiment, RoboCop trilogy). She was awesome. The same with other actors - Dan Aykroyd, Ned Beatty, Tim Matheson, John Belushi, Lorraine Gary, Treat Williams, Toshiro Mifune, Wendie Jo Sperber.......
Always a HUGE Spielberg/Williams fan...but this is one I've never seen. Living in the "boonies" when it was released. I've seen maybe 3 minutes worth on television, but I'm not going to watch a film all butchered up with commercials and "edited for content". I have enjoyed the music from my old Spielberg/Williams Collaboration CD though.
@195511SM Trust me, track down the DVD. Saw it in Theaters when I was about six. Saw it a couple times since. Great, fun movie. Sheer demented brilliance. And Spielberg directed!
Excellent video! Thanks! I was always bummed that 1941 flopped, I just love it! All kinds of silliness, great special effects (No CGI), fantastic music, a great dance number, and for out and out goofy mayhem and panic and destruction I can't think of many films that come close. The Blues Brothers perhaps.
I see someone down below has the Baby Wolf comment. : D
-Many great lines. "That --- is the craziest son of a bitch I've ever seen."
To heck with the critics, 1941 is quintessentially a great bad movie to indulge to! Spielberg has done WAY more worse with the likes of Hook, Twighlight Zone, and Lost World: Jurassic Park.
I don't care what anyone thinks this is one of my favorite movies and if this is Steven Spielbergs worse then I have got to see his best (probably have anyways.)
First movie I saw in a theater without my parents!! I've heard Williams say it is his favorite march... My wife fails to see the humor when I bring this out to watch as a "Christmas Movie"....
They take an US M-3 Grant tank, run it through a paint factory take it onto a pier to attack a Japanese submarine "Which by the way is actually a German U-Boat" and it all ends up in the the Pacific Ocean!
its not rubbish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spielberg has a U-Boat.
He used it in "Raiders Of The Lost Ark"
He also scoured all over Europe looking for authentic German Panzer for his,
"Saving Private Ryan"
The "Tiger Tanks"?
Russian T-34's dressed up to look like tigers.
He got one from Romania that was used in the movie "Kelly's Heroes".

This theme by John Williams is actually quite difficult to play.
Any band from a High School, all the way up to The London Philharmonic has to take a long break after they play this one!
Valkyrie801 1 year ago
The music was certainly better than the movie. This is one of John William's best marches.
I can understand, though, why the movie flopped here and was more popular outside of the U.S. market.
