    I was blown-away by the Woodstock movie. I can't quite put into words how beautiful it was. Anything i could say would be an understatement. Wow.

    Yeah that movie rocked.
    Cant really call it a "movie" though, is more like a report and overview of the things that happened, like a DvD from a popular band, although this was way bigger and had a way bigger value, but I'm sure you can pretty much understand what I mean if I dont really call it a movie :p

    Damn this has to sound strange... :p

    How many versions of Woodstock films exist? I have seen the directors cut, but there must be much more film material.

    I love that movie so much, all these beautiful people (Mealanie xD), and well it's so hard to describe, but It is my favorite movie, all cathegories. Makes me a bit sad thou. Have to face that that era is over, and I regret missing the festival (even trough it was 20 years befour I was born).

    OK, the woodstock movie changed me. that may sound really weird but i will tell you the story: School was cancelled due to a snowstorm so me and my aunt decided to go cross country skiing. She is really cool and shares a lot of similar intrests with me (now). She told me that She had The woodstock 69 vidio and that i could watch it if i wanted to. Well, ithought, OK. now, i was about 13 a the time and all into makeup and clothes and girly girl stuff. before i watchedthe movie, i said to myself, now i am not going to let this alter my veiw or the way i live my life. I made this pact with myself because all my childhood i was baisically raised to be a little hippie and at that age, i wanted to get away from it all. So i popped in the movie and after watching it (ALOT OF TIMES) I made this 180 degree turn with my life. I just hopped off the train and pretty much made woodstock my bible and the preformers my gods. I started to get more interested in the music I love today, The world it showed me seemed impossible, yet i knew that it was the way to live. Woodstock gave me the ambition to look deeper into many cultures and seemed to give me a confidence about where i was going and what my belifes were. I still watch the movie from time to time now, but i can honestly say that i know most of it by heart and do not feel the need to watch it. Plus, while it showed me agreat way of life, i also realised that i have to live for today, not in the past. Woodstock will never be relived but there are soo many festivals that can give todays youth what woodstock gave my parents generation

    It's really a fantastic movie! The directors cut edition has more footage than the original (like almost an hour!). But it would be cool if they released the raw footage eh?

    By the way shine, keep repping the Floyd!
