The Buddy Holly Story (DVD, 1999, Special Edition)

THE MUSICAL GENIUS FROM TEXAS, WHO CHANGED THE TUNE OF ROCK'N' ROLL HISTORY.WITH A GROUNDBREAKING COMBINATION OF COUNTRY MUSIC AND RHYTHM & BLUES,BUDDY HOLLY AND THE CRICKETS CATAPULTED TO NATIONAL STARDOM IN JUST THREE SHORT YEARS.BY THE AGE OF 22 HOLLY HAD IT ALL-UNTIL TRAGEDY ENDED A BRILLIANT CAREER...BUT NOT HIS MUSIC.

This is THE MOVIE about music pioneers from the past you shouldn't miss.Gary Busey did an unexcelled job of portraying Buddy Holly! Too bad today's music has to be the way it is!No real down-to earth feeling in a lot of it.

I bought this because "I was in the mood" for the music. What surprised and thrilled me was the Gary Busey commentary!!! 20 years after the making of the movie, he shares insights about improvs in certain scenes, sings along a little, and just brings the MAGIC of the movie back to life!

I have loved this movie for so long, the actors and actresses are great, the price was great, the shipping was great, and the seller was easy to get in touch with if I needed their attention.

MY DAD TURNED ME ON TO BUDDY HOLLY & HIS MUSIC AFTER HE SEEN MY FASCINATION WITH THE MOVIE & MUSIC OF "LA BAMBA" & THE RITCHIE VALENS STORY. GREAT MUSIC & THE CLASSIC TALE OF LOCAL BOYS MAKING THEIR FAMILY & HOMETOWN PROUD BY FOLLOWING THEIR DREAMS DESPITE THE DOUBTS & DIFFERENCES OF THOSE CLOSEST TO THEM...ANY REAL MUSIC LOVER OR ARTIST IM SURE CAN RELATE TO THESE TRUE LIFE STORIES & HOPEFULLY LEARN FROM THEM AS WELL...I RE-BOUGHT IT FOR MY DAD ON DVD, HE'S NOW 69 YEARS YOUNG... GREAT FATHERS DAY GIFT!

I'm inspired by Buddy Holly and I feel that he accomplished so much in just a short time. I purchased the DVD to get better insight about Holly's life, as well as accomplishments. It was a very good DVD and the Seller was prompt in sending it to me. This is not my first purchase from this Seller and it will not be my last. The DVD was delivered in excellent condition and I have watched it a few times, whereas most movies I only review once. This Seller exempflies the true traits of an outstanding Salemans and sets an outstanding example for others to follow.

I thought Gary Busey did an excellent job as Buddy Holly in this film and growing up listening to this era of rock and roll, I couldn't resist adding the DVD to my collection. Buddy Holly was a genius at writing and arringing music. It was a shame that his life was cut short at such an early age, thus robbing us of enjoying what he could have done in the future.

I have been looking for this movie & was very pleased to find it on Ebay. When the DVD arrived it was in excellent condition.... although I haven't seen it yet but wanted it for my collection.

The movie won a Oscar for Gary Busey but the movie was about half as good as Labamba,the Ritchie Valens story. I hope the new movie "The Day The Music Died" is as good at telling the history about the tragic plane crash and the wonderful artists that were killed . This new movie will tell the J.P. Richardson story,I hope there will be good actors and a good plot.

I really liked the movie alot, it really expressed the time line of the last years of Buddy Holly's life. The only dislike I had toward the film was at the end when Buddy calls Ritchie and the Big Bopper out, the guy who played Ritchie could of looked a little more like him. I'm a Ritchie fan so I expected a person who resembled him a little better.

Excellent product with fast shipping service. Excellent ebayer! Thank You for providing vintage movies.

I purchased the DVD as I am from the Buddy Holly generation. I remember the night of the accident as I am from Iowa. As a music lover, I can appreciate the influence that Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry and Carl Perkins had on music. I think all music lovers should see this great movie to understand that these great musicians were the real fathers of Rock and Roll. A wonderfully entertaining movie.

LOVE IT, BUT IT'S LACKING A LOT OF FACTS, SOME THINGS IN THE MOVIE WEREN'T TRUE AT ALL, BUT A GREAT MEMORABILIA ITEM! GARY BUSEY PLAYS A GREAT BUDDY HOLLY!

Great movie about the short life and times of a great rock-n-roll singer. Gary Busey did a wonderful job portraying Buddy. We've lost alot of great intertainers, and their life stories are very interesting. Buddy,Richie and the "Big Bopper" were so much on their way to greatness when tradgedy struck. I just read the book, "Whatever happened to Peggy Sue" and it "completes" this movie. It's just a great movie about a great singer and an all too soon end. Watch it, it will intertain you..and the music will make you get up and dance.

Classic movie about that old time rock and roll. Gary Busey shines as Buddy. Movie got accidentally left in CA, and was happy to find replacement on eBay.
