Wow....ummmm just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch,.....its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie.....i think that richard dreyfuss, holly hunter, brad johnson, john goodman, audrey hepburn (.R.I.P.), play good roles/parts throughout this movie.....i think that the director of this drama/romance/sci-fi/fantasy movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie......WARNING THIS MOVIE CONTAINS STROBE LIGHTNING EFFECTS THROUGHOUT SOME SCENES THROUGHOUT THIS MOVIE.....

During production, Spielberg confided that while making Jaws in 1974, he and Dreyfuss had traded quips from A Guy Named Joe, considered a "classic" war film, that they both wanted to remake. As an "inside joke," A Guy Named Joe is aired in a scene in Spielberg's Poltergeist. Dreyfuss had seen the 1943 melodrama "at least 35 times." For Spielberg, who recalled seeing it as a child late at night, "it was one of the films that inspired him to become a movie director,"creating an emotional connection to the times that his father, a wartime air force veteran had lived through. The two friends quoted individual shots from the film to each other and when the opportunity arose, years later, were resolved to recreate the wartime fantasy.

Principal photography took place in Kootenai National Forest, Montana, with some scenes filmed in and around Libby, Montana. Some 500 people from nearby Libby, Montana were recruited for the film as extras to act as wildland firefighters. Those scenes set in "Flat Rock, Colorado" were filmed at and around the Ephrata airport in eastern Washington.

Man this is such a classics movie 2 watch,.

Although only moderately successful commercially, Always was nominated in 1991 for the Saturn Award as Best Fantasy Film, while Jerry Belson was nominated for the Best Writing category of the award at the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films (USA). A number of critics have now considered the film as the progenitor of a new crop of "ghost" genre films, including Ghost (1990).

Man this is such an enjoyable movie 2 watch, its got a good soundtrack throughout this movie.....i think that john goodman was absolutley fantastic thorughout this movie as he was so so funny throughout this movie....man this is such a classics movie 2 watch, its got a good soundtrack throughout this movie.....

Always is a remake of the 1943 romantic drama A Guy Named Joe, although Spielberg did not treat the film as a direct scene-by-scene repeat of the earlier World War II melodrama. The main departure in plot is altering the action to that of a modern aerial firefighting operation. The film, however, follows the same basic plot line: the spirit of a recently dead expert pilot mentors a newer pilot, while watching him fall in love with his surviving girlfriend. The names of the four principal characters of the earlier film are all the same, with the exception of the Ted Randall character, who is called Ted "Baker" in the remake and Pete's last name is "Sandich", instead of "Sandidge.

Man this is such an enjoyable spielberg movie 2 watch, its got a great cast throughout this movie....man this is such a really funny movie 2 watch, its got a great cast throughout this movie....man this is such an enjoyable movie 2 watch its got a good cast thorughout this movie man this is such a good movie 2 watch with a great cast throughout this movie......
