The best movie about a horse - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brad Russ · 06-15-2005, 06:12 AM

I sort of wish I could vote for two, because Iv'e been going back and forth between Seabiscuit, and The Black Stallion. I think though I'm going to go with Seabiscuit. I loved the story of how a Nation went into a great depression, and how an undersized horse named Seabiscuit came along, and gave all the people who had lost everything hope for the first time in a long time. I thought the ending of this movie, was one of the most touching Iv'e ever seen!! What is your favorite horse movie??

I loved Seabiscuit, it was a great movie. Hidalgo was a pretty good movie and The Black Stallion I haven't seen in years but I remember it being a beautifully told story.

I agree with you on The Black Stallion. Visually, as well as storywise, it was absolutely beautiful. I know Mickey Rooney got a much deserved Oscar nomination for his role in the film, but I'm not sure whether or not the cinemotographer did. If not, he got robbed, because he definitely deserved one.

I agree with you on Hidalgo as well. It was pretty good, but definitely didn't measure up to the other two in my view. I thought the middle of the film was boring at parts, but thought the ending was awesome!!

I've only seen Seabiscuit, but I really loved it.

The Black Stallion for sure. Seabiscuit left me flat after all the hype - I found it just a so-so movie.

I LOVE horse movies and have a whole bunch of them including Seabiscuit and The Black Stallion but one horse movie I really enjoyed was a movie called Orphan Horse and that movie is so touching about a girl who raises a horse actually nicknamed Orphan "because the girl doesn't know the horse's actual name" and it's actually a sweet story. Another movie that also is my favorite is Flicka and Flicka is such a wonderful movie that teaches you that no matter that if you can't do something do not be afraid to take a chance on a dream. As the character Katy discovers when trying to tame Flicka and teaching Flicka the basics of training. How Tim McGraw got to be in Flicka i'll never know? Because for a country singer he can act so well and the end title song of Flicka My Little Girl is such a wonderful song sung marvelous by Tim McGraw. There is also two other Flicka movies Flicka 2 with Clint Black and Flicka Country Pride and Flicka is a movie worth checking out
