My favorite horse movie of all times is Flicka. I love Flicka, Flicka 2, and Flicka 3. I really like that horse movie because it shows how a horse-crazy girl will do anything for her horse -- Flicka.
Miracle of the White Stallions. As a history/dressage fan, this movie tells the tale of the rescue of the Lipizzaner stallions in WW2. Plus, at the very end, there's a thrilling exhibition of the horses in performance at the Spanish Riding School!
My favorite is not on the list but it was a television show called The Adventures of The Black Stallion. It has Mickey Rooney as Henry and Richard Ian Cox as Alec Ramsey, Doc's Keepin Time as the Black. There were three seasons and was amazing.
Who doesn't love a good story? Hidalgo is a great movie. But right up in my favorites along side is Buck. Its not always a fairy tale. His comments about not always liking what you see in the mirror are so true. I really wish the documentary 'Wild Horse, Wild Ride' had made this list. I've come across so many people who find the mustangs to be 'junk horses' and if more people could see how smart and talented they really are, perhaps their opinions could change. Maybe bring more awareness to their reality.
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron has been a favorite of mine for a while - I enjoy the perspective of the horse, all the more so that it is that of a wild horse. However, there is no horse film more special to me than King of the Wind. I read the book when I was a kid and though there are many creative liberties taken with the story of the Godolphin Arabian, I still feel that both the book and the film are a wonderful, enjoyable look into the history. Much of my love for the film itself stems from love and a great soft spot for the book, but I do think it is a must-see for horse lovers be they children or adults.
The Man from Snowy River! Love the coming of age story and the music. One of the first horse movies I remember seeing.
The movie Phar Lap has always been my absolute favorite horse movie, with The Man From Snowy River as a very close second.
How can you choose just one to be your favorite. I love anything with horse in it. Watch all the movies over and over again and I don't get tried watch them.
