The giant is great from back then to this date.

10 Years on and this is still one of the best pieces of music ever put to plastic. It is impossible to think of something getting better with each listen but this CD does it. My tape of it wore out. I've gone through two CDs

This movie filmed in Ultra Panavision 70, cost over $20,000,000 to produce in 1963 which would be equivalent to 200 million if produced today and you see every penny of it on the big screen. It stars some of the greatest actors of all time which includes Sophia Loren, Stephen Boyd, Alec Guinness, James Mason, Christopher Plummer, Anthony Quayle, John Ireland, Omar Sharif, and Mel Ferrer.  The music is incredible; it was nominated for an Academy Award and Golden Globe (Won) for best original score. This movie was long overdue on DVD including the remaining Bronston Epic- 55 Days at Peking which is due out in July. Experts say, the only reason this film did not recoup its losses in the theater, is by 1964 movie audiences had grown tired of the Roman Epics as it followed great movies such as Ben-Hur, Spartacus, Cleopatra, etc, so they considered it a timing issue rather than the quality of the motion picture. I highly recommend this 3 hour adventure (185 min. including Overture, Intermission and Exit music) , enjoy the film.

Since high school, Giants in the Earth has been one of my favorite novels, but although I studied Giants in literature classes in both high school and college I was never made aware of the lesser known sequels Peder Victorious and Their Fathers God.  Neither sequel was easy to find in print and at an affordable price, but I am happy I found them.  No, they are not as good as Giants in the Earth, or it may be the translations are not as good, but they are a nice continuation of the tale and definately worth reading.

I will admit, the first few times I really couldn't get into the sound. Then after a while it grew on me like most giants do. I really find it funny for people who complain about the length of the CD. If you looked at Flood, and Lincoln, and a LOT of their old stuff, youd see that they clock in at a bit more than 30 minutes as well.

Lets get down to the CD, all in all its a good departure and it sounds a LOT different than their other music. Then again, every Giants CD has a different feel to it I think...listen to John Henry, and you will see its totally different than Lincoln. This goes the same for most of their albums, and I think it's good. Actually quite refreshing. Especially with this CD! each song really has a different feel to it, from Linnel and his dark songs, to Flans and his really hyper sound.

Therefore I gotta give these guys another 5 out of 5, then again I loved No! as well.

As interesting today as when it first aired.

Amazon always has whatever old movie or book you might be looking for. Giant tells the story of bigotry and chauvinism in 1950's Texas and how a courageous person can work to end ignorance and prejudice.  It also shows the stark reality that money cannot replace love and respect. Some of the best acting you will ever see!

I bought this because I liked Grand Funk then, and I still like it now....I suggest that everyone try this to experience some of the great music from the past.  You may find that you prefer the old over the new.  I recommend this to everyone!!!!

The Guiness Book of World Records was always one of my favorite things to read as a kid.  I would scan through every new edition and just marvel at the crazy feats that people and things can/have done through time.  Things like tallest man, fastest animal things like that I think most people find interesting and enticing.  With the internet age and people looking at less and less books, some time ago the GBOWR was modified to have less content and more color pictures.  While this took the book down in quality of records listed, the book is still very entertaining in nature and anyone that isn't familiar with this should pick it up and enjoy the crazy things out in the world all here in one easy to enjoy package!!

**** RECOMMENDED

My friend and I saw this tour, once at the Old Giants Stadium with Squeeze opening  up for Bowie and then about a month later at MSG and the show was really really great.

The whole stage set up and performers made it worth the money you spent on tickets

This was actually the first cd I ever bought, which was back when I was in 6th grade and I'm still glad I bought that one instead of something else. If you don't remember how big Boyz II Men actually were in the early 90's, you must've been somewhere cause they were huge. Hit after hit, grammy after grammy, they became one of the greatest groups of all time, they could have been greater but they didn't really have longevity. This album is the peak of their success and Water Runs Dry is still one of  my favorite songs.

Fantastic value. Giant. Really has wow factor and the price could be double or more but it isn't and I appreciate that!

At last a surfing movie that is interesting as well as entertaining. 'Giants' spans about 50 years and it's fascinating to see the development in surf boards and surfers. Its a development that's driven by the need for more performance in big waves.  It is the surfers, though, that are the heart of the film.  Greg Noll, the first of three featured big wave riders, is a hugely likeable character, both then in the sixties and now.  The second featured surfer, Jeff Clarke, is the epitome of the man who has committed his whole being to what he loves most, surfing. His courage in surfing alone, for 15 years, the monster called Mavericks, makes one step back and wonder at the man.  The third surfer to feature is Laird Hamilton.  There is a mystique about Laird. His humility portrayed in his acknowledgement of the bravery of his support team is moving.  The footage showing Laird being snatched from the white water by a jet ski racing against an oncoming wall of water is memorable.  The credits at the end are a must see.  A crusty old Gregg Noll reminiscing about his love for Waiamea Bay with tears in his eyes while informing us that he is not emotional is a delight. The movie moves at a good pace and balances nicely drama, excitement, courage and humour. One is left, at the end, with a feeling of admiration for this strange breed of men who are only truely happy riding really, really big waves

This toy represents how Gigan appeared in the 1970's films Godzilla vs. Gigan and Godzilla vs. Megalon, and for the most part it's a nice work. The head, arms, and legs are all posable.

Gigan is probably a top ten monster in terms of popularity among Godzilla fans, so it was important that Bandai get this toy right, and they succeeded, fortunately, because their first go at a toy Gigan back in the eighties is infamous for being terribly inaccurate.

I recommend this toy, but not at the current price it's going for - you should be able to find it for fifteen dollars or less elsewhere. Always shop around, especially when purchasing Godzilla merchandise.

I read this for the first time over 30 years ago. It was great back then, and it's still a great read.
