Click for VHS Version Black Beauty
Starring Sean Bean & Doc's Keepin' Time

[ Click here for DVD ]
Viewer Comments: "Don't waste this one on your children - buy it for yourself! A spectacular adaptation of the Anna Sewell novel, this is faithful to the source material but creates a life of its own on the screen. Told from the point of view of the horse, it recalls a time and place that could be both beautiful and cruel." Emotional score by Danny Elfman will bring tears to even the dryest of eyes. Spectacular movie - one of the greatest ever made.

Click for VHS Version National Velvet
Starring Elizabeth Taylor

[ Click here for DVD ]
Viewer Comments: "This classic family film made a star of 12-year-old Elizabeth Taylor in the title role as spunky Velvet Brown, a girl who's determined to enter her horse, Pie, in the Grand National Steeplechase. Critic Pauline Kael called it "One of the most likeable movies of all time." Mickey Rooney costars as a young man who helps Velvet train Pie for the big race."

Click for VHS Version The Red Fury
Starring AM Count Pine +/

[ VHS Only ]
This film stars the Arabian stallion AM Count Pine +/ as Fury, a colt befriended by an Indian boy who has been outcast by his peers because of his lineage. Together, they must prove that there is more to a person than initially meets the eye. Although this movie is rather slow, it does show the outstanding tractability of its equine star (who just happens to be the grandsire of our stallion). :)

Click for VHS Version Lawrence of Arabia
Starring Peter O'Toole

[ Click here for DVD ]
Reader Comments: "Peter O'Toole gives a star-making performance as T.E. Lawrence, the eccentric British officer who united the desert tribes of Arabia against the Turks during World War I. It's a film about a man who leads one life but is irresistibly drawn to another, where his greatness and mystery are allowed to flourish in equal measure." - Jeff Shannon

Click for DVD Version The Black Stallion/Black Stallion Returns
Starring Kello Reno & Cass Ole'

[ DVD Only ]
Exquisitely filmed story of a young boy's adventures with a magnificent black stallion--from a dramatic shipwreck to a racing championship. Too slow at times, but still worthwhile, with many precious moments, stunning cinematography by Caleb Deschanel, Rooney's lovely performance as a veteran horse trainer. Based on classic children's novel by Walter Farley. This DVD set also includes the 1983 sequel, The Black Stallion Returns.
