  • Fantastic Music - Great American Talent - BUSEY

    The most addictive movie I have ever seen. You can watch this movie again and again and again and never get tired of it. The soundtrack is wonderful, the story line is captive and there has never been an actor born of a roll as Gary Busey was for The Buddy Holly Story. Busey plays the role so well you will be heartbroken at the end of the movie. Long live Buddy Holly, the legend - Long live Busey - the man that brought Buddy back to life.

  • the Buddy Holly story...Hollywood version..

    I have enjoyed watching this movie upon a number of occasions, and finally got around to buying a dvd for my collection of music movies...the movie isnt accurate but it has enough of the story line to give the average person some insight into the character of one of rock and rolls great early talents. Gary does a convincing job creating a persona that is both endearing and insightful...some of his striding around on stage seems a bit insect like but it adds some levity to the performances.....for people interested in a deeper understanding of Buddy Holly beyond this enjoyable and entertaining movie I suggest the tribute Paul MacCartney narrated....and contributed to.

  • The Buddy Holly Story

    Gary Busey does an amazing, awesome, terrific job playing Buddy Holly. I so admire stars who do their own singing. I'm not sure I could tell the difference between the two. I hate the closer it gets to the ending, I can barely watch! If you haven't seen this movie......DO SO!

  • A Good Movie But Not Fully Accurate.

    While not fully accurate it is a good entertaining movie and Busey does a good job as Buddy.At the Apollo they did not cheer him until he did a cover of a Bo Diddly song.There was no mention of Norman Petty Buddys maager. Still a good watch

    I have been collecting DVDs of movies that are not available to stream. The Buddy Holly Story starring Gary Busey certainly fits the bill. Very happy with this purchase.
