The Man from Snowy River (1982)
One of my all time favorite movies
This movie is absolutely one of the best movies ever made. It is an excellent story, beautiful music, and lots of horses. The cinematography is excellent. The scenes of the horse chase, in my opinion, hasn't been equaled. The actors, for the most part are good,but no academy performances with the exception of Kirk Douglas, who does an excellent job playing a dual role.However, the story is good, and there is no foul language, nudity, or smuttiness. If you just want to sit down with a bowl of popcorn and spend a good evening watching a good movie, you won't go wrong here. I can watch it every time it's on.
Beyond the Prairie: The True Story of Laura Ingalls Wilder (1999)
The story of Laura Ingalls Wilder as a young adult
In some aspects, I do agree with the first person who wrote a review. It was very TV, and the person who played Laura was, I thought, too proper for a prairie woman, but the movie did one thing, it sparked my interest in the real Laura Ingalls Wilder. I wanted, and did, get on the internet and look for true tales on this family. I grew up watching the TV series, and I know that big parts of it were not true. I later found out that Nellie wasn't a real person, but parts of several people, and no one can confirm Mr. Edwards ever existed. But, after watching this movie, I wanted to know what is real and what is not. As a stand alone movie, it wasn't that good, but because it got me interested in the real person, I gave it a 5.
