5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Brilliant Aug 12 2001
By Jim Yoakum
Format:VHS Tape
Lester's satirical look at the horrors of war - and the ill-conceived glorification of it in war films - is perhaps his most brilliant effort ever. I'll go further, "How I Won The War" may be one of the most unjustly ignored and underrated films of the past 30+ years. Granted, Lester's dense symbolism, Brechtian framing devices, layered sound and use of flashbacks/forwards will confuse some, put off those who are looking for the light comedy of Lester's "A Hard Day's Night", but if you put those assumptions aside and let "War" wash over you, you will be rewarded with a rich and mature comedy with bite. Major credit also goes to Lester's screenwriter, Charles Wood (who also scripted "Help!"). Excellent performances throughout (including a quite eerie Lennon death scene), with special mention to Michael Crawford, who pulls off a difficult role as the hapless Lt. Goodbody. The late Roy Kinnear shines (as usual). This film is not for everyone, but it is for anyone who appreciates tales well-told and cinema that attempts to do more than simply entertain. The don't make 'em like this anymore, and more's the pity.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT DVD Mar 24 2013

A tru collectors item about John Lennon & his career. John's acting of a war figure was certainly a push of his envelope.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Chuffed, Mate
Richard Lester has directed great movies, and Three Musketeers (Michael York) is on my ten favorite action movie list. "How I Won the War" is not one of his best. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Surrealistic Anti-War Movie
HOW I WON THE WAR was filmed in Spain in late 1966. The movie features John Lennon and Michael Crawford of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA fame. Richard Lester is the director. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Too much work watching this
Evidently this is supposed to be some sort of black comedy. Unless you like keystone cops, there is not much comedy; it is more of a surrealistic missing of the mark. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars missing the point
Many people watch this movie for the same reason as did I: they were Beatles fans and wanted to see Lennon. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Another disappointed Lester/Beatles fan
First of all, I have to say that my review is colored by the fact that I read the book (which is apparently and unfortunately not in print) first. Read more
