Yay or NEIGH Poll
Added 2023-04-24 19:29:07 +0000 UTCWith the Grand Hat show aka The Kentucky Derby coming up, it was time for a horse poll I think!
I did, and have a reaction to War Horse already, that was a pretty beautiful movie I thought.
May the best horse win!

Tbh if I was making an ark and drawing up a list of animals...horses wouldn't make the cut, lol.

2023-05-10 00:58:12 +0000 UTCAre you practicing your wedding vows? "I do" what?
Richard Maurer
2023-05-09 11:30:47 +0000 UTCI do.
Junior
2023-05-09 05:03:01 +0000 UTCBut that's the point, we don't really know if she will enjoy them or not. Many people said she wouldn't enjoy 300 but, surprise, she did. And even if she doesn't enjoy all of them there are movies that are important for her to see. So yes, I'm saying there are movies I think Cassie should watch even if I don't think she'll like them. If Cassie ever enjoys every movie that she watches then we're doing this wrong.
Richard Maurer
2023-05-08 14:04:49 +0000 UTCThe challenge was to break Cassie out of modern RomComs and chick flicks. There are SO many movies in different genres and time periods that she would like AND be challenged by. So, when there’s a choice of movies that offer the same type of “challenge,” there’s no reason to suggest those we know she won’t enjoy.
Junior
2023-05-06 08:21:16 +0000 UTCwheres Warhorse?
Mitch Wells
2023-05-04 00:19:01 +0000 UTCTrue. It's also true that it's a good MOVIE (not a documentary) and as such it's irrelevant whether it's true or not. The real truth is that all "true story" movies are always in varying degrees fiction, and you can either accept that fact and enjoy the movie, or you can go watch a documentary instead.
Richard Maurer
2023-05-02 16:04:30 +0000 UTCHidalgo is based on a lie.
The Middle Aged Gamer
2023-05-01 22:19:58 +0000 UTCI prefer to think of it as the movies that will be the most interesting for Cassie to watch, which is not the same as like the most. If it were only movies Cassie likes we wouldn't be watching horror movies in October. I will remind everyone (again) that when Cassie started this she said she wanted to be challenged, to broaden her horizons To do this there are going to be movies that Cassie won't like - and that's okay.
Richard Maurer
2023-04-30 17:38:44 +0000 UTCThe poll results almost always surprise me. I loved Hidalgo and Seabiscuit. But, of the movies on this list, it just seems like Cassie would enjoy The Horse Whisperer the most. Maybe I’m looking at it wrong.
Junior
2023-04-29 12:08:08 +0000 UTCAnd it's Seabiscuit by a nose. Winning tickets can be cashed out at the windows
Richard Maurer
2023-04-28 17:01:23 +0000 UTCStinko is a bit harsh, Secretariat won or was nominated for 9 awards. Stinkos don't do that. But it is definitely not as good as Seabiscuit or Hidalgo.
David Collins
2023-04-28 16:26:14 +0000 UTCI meant did Seabiscuit win, God,,, spelling. But yea, great movie. A lot of great "I say philosophy" lines to. The "he needs to just learn" line. I wont give away. Love that one.
Michael J
2023-04-28 15:19:59 +0000 UTCGah!!! 7 votes between Seabiscuit and Hidalgo. Cassie, I hope you watch both.
Tara
2023-04-28 15:00:20 +0000 UTCAnd they're off! "All the Pretty Horses" with a great start. But "Phar Lap" takes the early lead. On the outside now, "The Black Stallion" moves up from the pack. But what's this? "The Horse Whisperer" has charged up ahead around the far turn. And they're into the stretch! "Secretariat" makes a move! "Hidalgo" too! Oh my goodness, here comes "Seabiscuit" in the final seconds! Battling "Hidalgo" for the lead! Their votes coming in, stride for stride, down to the wire, and... ..."Seabiscuit" has done it! It's "Seabiscuit" by a nose! "Seabiscuit" has won Popcorn in Bed's YAY OR NEIGH POLL on Patreon!

2023-04-28 05:59:55 +0000 UTCJust sayin...you could not be more wrong...
John Liebling
2023-04-27 20:25:30 +0000 UTCSecretariat was a great horse, but the movie was a huge stinko. He lacked all the heart included in the Seabiscut story.
John Liebling
2023-04-27 20:24:57 +0000 UTC@ Chris H - But is he better than Viggo at making a speech on horseback while holding a sword aloft? I think not.
Richard Maurer
2023-04-27 18:10:43 +0000 UTCWell, other than Seabiscuit co-star Gary Stevens perhaps. :)
Chris H.
2023-04-27 18:10:31 +0000 UTCSeabiscuit also features Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens as a co-star. Gonna guess he rides a bit better than Viggo. Just sayin'.
Chris H.
2023-04-27 18:08:25 +0000 UTCThe 1949 version of "The Story of Seabiscuit" with Shirley Temple (as a teenager) and Berry Fitzgerald is a lot more enjoyable than the 2003 remake. Just sayin'......😇
james flack
2023-04-27 16:36:32 +0000 UTCI hope you're right. I'm only sad Secretariat doesn't look like it's going to make the cut. It is truly an excellent movie and is the only one in the poll that is actually about a Kentucky Derby winner, perhaps the most famous one of all time. Not quite as good as the two current leaders, though.
David Collins
2023-04-27 15:38:29 +0000 UTCDon't worry, ladies and gents. Cassie's gonna watch them both.
G
2023-04-27 10:03:15 +0000 UTCAnd the actor from October Sky.

Shawn Kildal
2023-04-27 05:13:53 +0000 UTCI'm surprised Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken wasn't on the list .
Aaron Mann
2023-04-27 03:06:17 +0000 UTCThe poll's not over yet.
Richard Maurer
2023-04-27 02:03:35 +0000 UTCThe Man from Snowy River would be a good addition to this list.
Rodger Johnson
2023-04-27 00:38:14 +0000 UTCIronically, this is making the movie about the underdog not look like the underdog in this race. :-)
Stick Figure Studios
2023-04-27 00:20:33 +0000 UTCLooking like it's going to come down to a photo finish at the wire. I smell a tie coming on.
David Collins
2023-04-26 23:44:58 +0000 UTCOh, other reasons Cassie will love Seabiscuit: 1. It's a sports movie, and a true underdog story 2. One of the main characters, Red Pollard, is CANADIAN. A fine Alberta lad he was!
Chris H.
2023-04-26 23:44:56 +0000 UTCThat could’ve been due to bigotry against Mustangs. It’s really prevalent and pernicious. I for one support Mustang representation, and I hope you can stand up for inclusivity as well. Vote progress, vote Hidalgo! ✊🏾
Norrin Radd
2023-04-26 23:39:54 +0000 UTCI am not.
John Liebling
2023-04-26 23:26:56 +0000 UTCSeabiscuit has it all! Jeff Lebowski himself! Spiderman Tobey Maguire! An actual true story that doesn't rip off the plot devices of Last Samurai!
Chris H.
2023-04-26 23:17:19 +0000 UTCNow it just feels like you're picking on HIDALGO.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-04-26 22:56:03 +0000 UTCWell written Martin. Cassie does not yet know that context.
John Liebling
2023-04-26 22:15:49 +0000 UTCNo need. Seabiscuit allowed Hidalgo to catch him at the final turn, looked Hidalgo in the eyes, and will now sprint past him down the stretch.
Martin
2023-04-26 21:58:55 +0000 UTCHey folks time to push Seabiscut over the top by seven or eight votes...
John Liebling
2023-04-26 20:40:25 +0000 UTCHow can you go wrong with actors from Fargo, Spider-man, and the Big Labowski in the same flick.
John Liebling
2023-04-26 18:14:38 +0000 UTCThe Academy did not nominate Hidalgo for any awards; while it nominated Seabiscut for seven. For example: Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Cinematography.
John Liebling
2023-04-26 18:13:20 +0000 UTCSeabiscut wins by a nostril...
John Liebling
2023-04-26 18:11:56 +0000 UTCOn paper the actors for Seabiscut are far superior to those of hidalgo. And on paper, reading the plot of both, Seabiscut is far superior. And looking at the box office receipts, the movie loving public agrees. Compared to the budget hidalogo made 8 million. Compared to the budget Seabsicut made 61 million.
John Liebling
2023-04-26 18:05:43 +0000 UTCWow! It really is neck and neck! And how often do you get to use an expression in a situation where the expression came from in the first place! 😀
Robert da Spruce
2023-04-26 18:04:00 +0000 UTCSecretariat is a horrible movie. In so many ways the opposite of Seabiscut. Never heard of nor watch hidalgo. I do know the story, acting, directing is perfect.
John Liebling
2023-04-26 17:52:24 +0000 UTCShe’d also love Secretariat. Great movie that’s emotional and Disney-fied, but not as accurate to real life as Seabiscuit movie. She’ll love either - I’ve never even heard of Hidalgo. I like the star of that one, so I’ll have to give it a whirl regardless!!
Steve Barrett
2023-04-26 17:14:48 +0000 UTCJust got a nostalgia hit when I read this. I hole heartedly second this motion.
Jared Gragan
2023-04-26 17:12:49 +0000 UTCThe Rider (2017) by Oscar winning director Chloe Zhao (Nomadland) should be on this list. It made many top 10 lists and is a stunning docudrama. Centers on real life rodeo rider Brady Jandreau and his family who play themselves. Jandreau is a real life rodeo rider and horse trainer and his scenes with horses are incredible. Set on a Native American reservation in the Dakotas, with stunning cinematography and storylines you won’t forget. A modern day western of men and horses.
Marc Peterson
2023-04-26 17:09:59 +0000 UTCSeabiscuit is pulling away again, c'mon Hidalgo! Where are the Hidalgo people?
Richard Maurer
2023-04-26 16:55:32 +0000 UTCHIDALGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *takes deep breath* OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Norrin Radd
2023-04-26 11:09:47 +0000 UTCOK, but this isn't a poll about who's a good rider. It's about movies.
dominantblaze
2023-04-26 10:31:00 +0000 UTCYou need to watch Man From Snowy River.
Jacob Antony
2023-04-26 10:25:25 +0000 UTCI mean in Seabiscuit, the races actually happened.
dominantblaze
2023-04-26 10:23:35 +0000 UTCMust be Viggo and LOTR fans voting Hidalgo. It's a decent enough film, but just a fun simple adventure. Seabiscuit has some deep themes in it about life that have stayed with me for decades now.
dominantblaze
2023-04-26 10:18:00 +0000 UTCIt's almost always the case. Cassie watches the top 2.
G
2023-04-26 07:03:20 +0000 UTCShe's already seen WAR HORSE.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-04-26 06:20:16 +0000 UTCYou can also vote for more than one title.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-04-26 06:19:20 +0000 UTCAnd down the stretch they come!!
Shawn Kildal
2023-04-26 05:25:23 +0000 UTCso underrated I've always thought.
jeffrey bruce
2023-04-26 04:20:32 +0000 UTCLet's go Hidalgo!!!
Evan Lewis
2023-04-26 03:48:08 +0000 UTCCouldn't agree with you more however she also loves true stories and after watching her reaction to Cinderella Man, I think she would learn a lot about the Depression from Seabiscuit. Plus it is a Sports Movie and she loves those too. Hopefully she will watch both.
KauaiKeith
2023-04-26 02:36:35 +0000 UTCShouldn't it be Hay or Neigh?
Wes
2023-04-26 01:50:16 +0000 UTCI think Cassie would like The Horse Whisperer the best.
Super Powered Design (Jim)
2023-04-26 01:15:41 +0000 UTCThey're neck and neck with Seabiscuit back in the lead!
Richard Maurer
2023-04-26 00:48:27 +0000 UTCHidalgo vs Seabiscuit? Impossible choice...
Rodger Johnson
2023-04-26 00:44:04 +0000 UTCSecretariat is a great true story
Scott Beadle
2023-04-26 00:18:11 +0000 UTCI would assume YT, it's certainly a major part of her reaction income. I know that most reactors who drop a series, or talk about a movie reaction tanking, usually site lack of interest on YT, rather than patreon, as the reason.
Richard Maurer
2023-04-25 23:18:35 +0000 UTCHidalgo takes the lead!
Richard Maurer
2023-04-25 23:13:46 +0000 UTCNah just leave it a tie, this is the way
Astraeos
2023-04-25 22:49:42 +0000 UTCDoes Cassie make more money from YouTube or Patreon? Just curious.
Larry Darrell
2023-04-25 22:38:26 +0000 UTCI was lucky enough to see four of the five nominated films that year. Mystic River was one of those. One of the two most depressing films I've ever seen. It was really good, but so depressing.
Terdell Ferguson
2023-04-25 22:15:13 +0000 UTCAs things get closer, we need all the Black Stallion folks to switch to Hidalgo. 🙌🏾
Norrin Radd
2023-04-25 21:28:44 +0000 UTCWe’re planning on a dead heat so we can watch both, right?
Stephen Malloy
2023-04-25 20:43:27 +0000 UTCI’ve only heard of Seabiscuit out of all them. Need to stop horsing around and get a better list together (sorry couldn’t resist) 😂😂
Dean Holt
2023-04-25 19:47:28 +0000 UTCMy bet would be on Secretariat for pure enjoyment
Cole Jennett
2023-04-25 19:43:29 +0000 UTCAfter following Cassie (sometimes from outside in the cold🥶) for way over a year, I personally think she would enjoy "Hidalgo" the most. Just sayin'.....
james flack
2023-04-25 19:24:19 +0000 UTCPatrick Flanagan, one of the all time best comments here. Congrats. A well skewered barb.
Mike LL
2023-04-25 18:15:52 +0000 UTCViggo learned how to ride when he was a child and so did Kelly Reno who grew up on a ranch; his parents were cattle ranchers and he did most of his own stunt work in The Black Stallion with and w/o a saddle. He’s a natural with horses. The most impressive was his acting skills because he auditioned with zero experience.
Rose
2023-04-25 17:18:05 +0000 UTCHidalgo is within 10 votes from Seabiscuit. C'mon Hidalgo!
Richard Maurer
2023-04-25 17:03:35 +0000 UTCI want a Best Vampire movies starring Christopher Lee poll, and the top 4 all get watched - as long as I'm dreaming.
Richard Maurer
2023-04-25 16:59:41 +0000 UTCYes. And "Brego" from LotR too.
Richard Maurer
2023-04-25 16:55:16 +0000 UTCI don't think running out of films is the problem. But will those films generate enough YT interest is another question. I think the best reactors - Cassie, Natalie Gold, etc. - will be alright. But the lesser ones are already beginning to drop out. And anyone thinking of starting a reaction channel now better be Cassie/Natalie Gold level if they want to make it as a reactor
Richard Maurer
2023-04-25 16:53:16 +0000 UTCOut of every actor in the poll Viggo is the expert horse rider/trainer. He again like in LOTRs he bought the horse.
Tommy.J
2023-04-25 15:12:04 +0000 UTCDid you know Viggo bought the Horse.
Tommy.J
2023-04-25 15:10:09 +0000 UTCLMAO
Tommy.J
2023-04-25 15:09:04 +0000 UTCHidalgo should win because of Viggo being an expert rider/trainer. He bought the horse, like he did in LOTRs.
Tommy.J
2023-04-25 15:08:17 +0000 UTCI just brought this up! I saw TMFSR in theatres. One of the best horse movies and most famous Australian movies. Made me fall in love with Australia. It has one of the greatest horse scenes in film history!
Tommy.J
2023-04-25 15:06:06 +0000 UTCI saw it in the theatre because of "The Man From Snowy River"(1982). Which is a much better horse film, and should be on this list. It has one of the most famous horse scene in film history! It also has a love story that would melt Cassie and Carly.
Tommy.J
2023-04-25 15:02:12 +0000 UTCOut of all these movies the only actor who is a real/trainer rider is Viggo.
Tommy.J
2023-04-25 14:58:28 +0000 UTCIt should considering Viggo is a better rider than Toby.
Tommy.J
2023-04-25 14:56:58 +0000 UTCViggo bought the horse from Hidalgo. Out of every actor on the poll Viggo is the best rider. In fact he is an excellent horse trainer look at what he did with his horse in LOTRs. When he trained it to pick him off the ground.
Tommy.J
2023-04-25 14:55:04 +0000 UTCNo, at least 20 good films and hundreds of average/entertaining movies come out yearly in the US alone. Cassie is not even halfway to AFI 100.
G
2023-04-25 13:05:06 +0000 UTCPeople say she's going to run out of movies to watch 🤣
Jon Jon the Milkshake Man

G
2023-04-25 09:00:06 +0000 UTCThe audience, critics, and box office show Seabiscuit is a better film. I agree.
G
2023-04-25 08:34:52 +0000 UTCYes but what do you expect people to do? Not blurt out things they know about movies someone hasn't watched yet even though the point of the Patreon is to capture that experience?
Patrick Flanagan
2023-04-25 07:46:17 +0000 UTCNever mind the poll numbers - be SURE to watch The Horse Whisperer sometime soon! The performances by Robert Redford and a young Scar Jo are phenomenal!
Lamar Savage

Tony Olmos
2023-04-25 04:11:35 +0000 UTCWar Horse will definitely not be on the list next time.
My_Cousin_Mose
2023-04-25 03:37:48 +0000 UTC100% agree. I’ve seen all of these movies and the top two emotionally impactful films for me are The Black Stallion & Phar Lap. I find Jim McKay’s segment on Secretariat in the documentary Jewels of The Triple Crown more exciting than the actual film itself. Seabiscuit will be a good reaction. I just can never get over Tobey Mcguire’s riding scenes. It’s so obvious that I always burst out laughing.
Rose
2023-04-25 03:14:24 +0000 UTCI am a sucker for Hidalgo and I sure hope it wins. I saw The Black Stallion when I was a kid. So i might take a look at that again. I guess that is why I like Hidalgo so much. I though maybe War Horse would be on the list. Maybe next time.
Christian Rennie
2023-04-25 02:41:28 +0000 UTCHidalgo's coming up on the outside! but can it take the lead from Seabiscuit?

Dooly
2023-04-25 02:08:36 +0000 UTCSeabiscuit is an underdog that will not quit. She sensed competition and pulled ahead.
Alex Villarreal
2023-04-25 01:59:37 +0000 UTCShame not many have heard of 'Phar Lap' and dont know what a great movie it is
Rick
2023-04-25 01:47:45 +0000 UTCI know Julie. Maybe someday. She and her family would love it! Kelly Reno was a natural on a horse but what unexpected acting chops. During filming, Carroll Ballard was most nervous about Alec’s dinner scene with his mother … but wow .. Reno nailed it. The Black Stallion made me fall in love with horses and horseback riding. Too bad it flies under the radar, joining the ranks of other classics from a bygone era of cinema. Also I sent her the Criterion Blu-ray of The Black Stallion so fingers-crossed it gets pulled for a reaction.
Rose
2023-04-25 01:34:08 +0000 UTCSeabiscuit is nearly a perfect movie. Including the horse, there are four major character arcs which are fantastic. Great cast, great acting.

Cole Jennett
2023-04-25 00:45:08 +0000 UTCDoes this mean you have seen Black Beauty? Also, I voted Hidalgo but my second choice would have been the Black Stallion!
Jessamyn J
2023-04-25 00:43:11 +0000 UTCSecretariat was the greatest horse that every lived! No other thoroughbred has ever matched his track time or winning margin in the Belmont race of the Triple Crown which he won.
Jorge De La Torriente
2023-04-25 00:32:24 +0000 UTCI would add "Ride Like a Girl".

2023-04-25 00:17:35 +0000 UTCSo far? Like, since the channel started? The last string of movies are: Open Range 3:10 To Yuma Crimson Tide The Living Daylights Butch Cassidy The Departed John Wick 3 The Spy Who Loved Me Good Morning Vietnam Live and Let Die Hachi Tombstone None of these are satisfactory for you?
Bill W
2023-04-25 00:14:37 +0000 UTCThis just kills me, so many movies I know Cassie would love. I also know my ❤️ pick for The Black Stallion won’t win but I gotta vote for it anyway. Maybe someday 🙏🏼
Julie
2023-04-25 00:08:39 +0000 UTCI can't vote on this, 4 of the movies I haven't seen. I loved Seabiscuit though! Got it for my Dad when it first came out. He's use to sneak into the track when he was 13. Guys a horse racing legend! I've never seen anyone win more then him!

Brian McGovern
2023-04-24 23:51:43 +0000 UTCThe Black Stallion…a beautiful adventure movie about a boy and his horse. Francis Ford Coppola film…highly recommend.
Marc Peterson
2023-04-24 23:51:38 +0000 UTCSeabiscuit is such a good movie. You won’t be disappointed.
Kevin Hooper
2023-04-24 23:50:06 +0000 UTCHow is Hidalgo losing to Seabiscuit?! Cassie, I believe you should ignore the poll and watch Hidalgo. You can trust my recommendation because I’m really smart. 👍🏾
Norrin Radd
2023-04-24 23:43:46 +0000 UTCI guess I'm not a horse guy or something, I literally haven't heard of any of these
Matt
2023-04-24 23:42:39 +0000 UTCThis was a tough call, but I think "Seabiscuit" edges out "Hidalgo." Both take liberties with actual historical events, but I think "Seabiscuit" is closer to reality. But both are very enjoyable movies!
Michael Gilbrook
2023-04-24 23:40:03 +0000 UTCHidalgo hopefully!!!
lance tophoj
2023-04-24 23:35:31 +0000 UTCI am quite confident that Seabiscuit would be a very enjoyable watch.
Kevin M. Pitts
2023-04-24 23:11:50 +0000 UTCJust glad 'Hot to Trot' (1988) isn't here. Great cast, but one big steaming pile of horse apples.

James1035
2023-04-24 22:46:03 +0000 UTCSeabiscuit was nominated for best picture in 2003. Only Return of the King stopped it from winning that year, in my estimation. Easily the best of these.

james flack
2023-04-24 22:43:12 +0000 UTCIf you want to watch a nice little outsider horse racing movie, 50-1 was a TV movie made telling the story of the 2009 Kentucky Derby. It's not it the same league as some on the poll, but it's a nice watch, a true story and has some incredible footage of the actual race.... A little gem of a movie.
Paul Browne
2023-04-24 22:39:41 +0000 UTCUgh! Seabiscuit over secretariat? Jeez!
Michael Lynch
2023-04-24 22:38:48 +0000 UTCI agree 100%, I had watched it as a kid, with no particular memory of it, but recently rewatched it with my kids, and was taken aback at how good it was. Definitely much more than a kids film, it's a masterpiece. It won't win, but it should get a reaction at some stage hopefully.
Paul Browne
2023-04-24 22:33:55 +0000 UTCIf your looking for a good horse racing movie try "Let It Ride" 😀
Johnny Salinas

Jim Williams
2023-04-24 21:56:52 +0000 UTCLove Secretariat, Seabiscuit and of course Hidalgo. Did you know that Viggo bought the horse after filming the movie? Cassie, I recommend all 3 of them

Tara
2023-04-24 21:48:55 +0000 UTCI can't believe [movie I like out of the million movies made] isn't on this poll [with a maximum of 8 slots]! You HAVE to watch it anyway.
Mike Lemon
2023-04-24 21:44:31 +0000 UTCAll good but I believe Secretariat was the all time best athlete we’ve ever seen. Sea biscuit is my second favorite horse movie. The relationship between the biscuit and Tony is outstanding and the cast is great
Ryan Towell
2023-04-24 21:44:15 +0000 UTCGotta go with Hidalgo just for Viggo.

Stick Figure Studios
2023-04-24 21:03:54 +0000 UTCHere's a classic "I know the poll is already up but what about this obscure movie?" unsolicited suggestion...1989's LET IT RIDE, starring Richard Dreyfuss as a lover gambler mysteriously blessed with good luck at the race track for one day. Just a terrifically fun comedy.

Patrick Flanagan
2023-04-24 21:00:27 +0000 UTCBoth Hidalgo and Seabiscuit are excellent films and based on actual animals. You'll really love Viggo Mortenson (Aragorn) in "Hidalgo"!

David Crabtree
2023-04-24 20:55:38 +0000 UTCYou are right about BLACK STALLION being a beautiful and sublime story, but it was far from Mickey Rooney's last film (he lived for another 35 years after that and made dozens of other films) and it was not directed by Sophia Coppola (who would have been only 7-8 years old at the time), but by Carroll Ballard (who also did NEVER CRY WOLF and FLY AWAY HOME).
Stick Figure Studios
2023-04-24 20:55:12 +0000 UTCThe director was Carroll Ballard whose big break was working 2nd unit photography on Star Wars - A New Hope
Rose
2023-04-24 20:51:21 +0000 UTCI haven't seen a lot of these movies, so I went to Rotten Tomatoes (I know, I know) to get some input. I was surprised. Let's just say it influenced me and I believe I voted for the right movie.
Mike LL
2023-04-24 20:50:14 +0000 UTCOne not on your list that should have been is Flicka (2006)
Bruce C Snell
2023-04-24 20:49:40 +0000 UTCUgh horses. Probably why I've never seen any of these, lol. My vote goes for Hidalgo and The Horse Whisperer (RR and ScarJo!)
Odd Thomas
2023-04-24 20:44:57 +0000 UTCVery true but who was able to finish off Houston? Lol 😆
William Bryan
2023-04-24 20:42:48 +0000 UTCThe horse whisperer with Robert Redford is a hidden gem. It’s about courage and a comeback.
Doc Larry
2023-04-24 20:40:54 +0000 UTCSea biscuit is great and I knew would do well. So I voted for The Horse Whisperer cause it is such a great movie/story and know you and Carly would love it.
Jeffrey Smith
2023-04-24 20:36:57 +0000 UTCHello William! Once again, my Phillies are playing catch up in the division, but that's only because your Braves had a longer off-season to rest. 😁
james flack
2023-04-24 20:36:34 +0000 UTCThe Black Stallion is an American Classic and deserves to be seen by more people. Haven't seen it since I was a kid, but it is an amazing film.
Ray Johnson
2023-04-24 20:36:28 +0000 UTCLol everytime I see Secretariat it reminds me of Craig Ferguson.
Jacob Colson
2023-04-24 20:35:49 +0000 UTCHorse Whisperer .... Robert Redford, is definitely a love story, surviving tragedy. Also has a great soundtrack.
Patrick Ernst
2023-04-24 20:34:29 +0000 UTCSophia Coppola was like 7 years old when this came out. It was directed by Carroll Ballard. FFC was the producer though.
Ray Johnson
2023-04-24 20:34:10 +0000 UTCOh Gosh. I’ve seen none of these. If the Black Stallion is from the 80’s, I may have seen that one but remember nothing about it. I’ll abstain.
Ike
2023-04-24 20:30:04 +0000 UTCFifty years ago... Secretariat. If you are old enough to remember what this incredible animal did in 1973 then you know. IMO.. the greatest race horse that ever to step on to a racetrack.
Robin Craft
2023-04-24 20:28:39 +0000 UTCMeh. I've given up on these polls.
rakesh
2023-04-24 20:26:24 +0000 UTCSeabiscuit takes the lead.
Kirk Sloan
2023-04-24 20:23:21 +0000 UTCThere's a lot to like about Hidalgo and I do quite a lot personally, but unfortunately it's only (very loosely) "based on" a true story, and really that's more accurately "based on Frank Hopkins' writings the veracity of which is highly questionable". There's a lot of contention around whether Hopkins had ever even been to Arabia at all and it's pretty much accepted as fact no race remotely like what's in the movie ever happened.
Friendly Trumpet
2023-04-24 20:18:31 +0000 UTCI second The Electric Horseman (1979) with beautiful cinematography in Nevada and Southwest Utah and wonderful songs from Willie Nelson. "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys." I love this movie.
Ian Cano
2023-04-24 20:18:12 +0000 UTCRegardless of the winner, you’ve GOT to watch Black Stallion. It’s got Mickey Rooney in his last performance before he passed away, and it’s a much more nuanced, sublime story artistically directed by Sophia Coppola, Francis Ford Coppola’s daughter. EEK! I stand corrected! See, THIS is what happens when you rely on your memory for facts…I guess there’s a difference between what you want to remember, and what’s actually true!
Charlie Chap
2023-04-24 20:16:34 +0000 UTCDon't think it will win the poll, but Phar Lap is a really delightful film about a famous horse we are not really familiar with because he ran in Australia. I would hope you would react to it at some point. I think you would really like it.
sharkey197
2023-04-24 20:16:10 +0000 UTCI can't help but think of this one horse film that I haven't seen but would really like to. "Into the West" (1992) directed by Mike Newell (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Donnie Brasco) and starring Gabriel Byrne and Ellen Barkin.
Jake McNulty
2023-04-24 20:15:58 +0000 UTCI'd have added "National Velvet" (1944), Elizabeth Taylor's breakout film, which also features the late Angela Lansbury in only her second role.
Elliot Nesterman
2023-04-24 20:15:36 +0000 UTCi have a wide movie interest and i have great respect for stunt horses and horses in general, but movies with horse characters leave me cold. it's an odd black hole where my suspension of disbelief doesn't work at all

Morgan A. Colbert
2023-04-24 20:08:45 +0000 UTCI sent her a message expressing these exact sentiments. It’s one of those life-changing films that I think is just perfect. Pure cinema at its best. Thanks to Francis Ford Coppola who fought for this film bc not too many people involved believed in it at that time. Huge box office hit and beloved classic. The horse race scenes are the best in any horse film. Also Carmine Coppola & Shirley Walker’s music for The Black Stallion is one of my favorites!

Stick Figure Studios
2023-04-24 20:04:08 +0000 UTCFor my money, the greatest horse movie ever made is THE BLACK STALLION (although Caroline Thompson's BLACK BEAUTY is a close second), so it's getting my vote.

AC5555
2023-04-24 19:48:18 +0000 UTCHidalgo by far. Just consider the Cast. So much adventure to see and feel! So scenic! Yes, I still love the Horse Whisperer-one of my favorite reads which is even better than the movie. Black Stallion, too is up there but Hidalgo kicks it for me!
Alina Jones
2023-04-24 19:48:16 +0000 UTCAbsolutely! I was going to suggest that. That was the movie Chloe Zhao directed before the Oscar winning Nomadland, and it's a really great movie. Love how she uses authentic people like that in her films, gives them an almost documentary like feel.

Alina Jones
2023-04-24 19:44:40 +0000 UTCIMO the better Robert Redford horse movie, which is criminally underseen, is the Electric Horseman, also starting Jane Fonda. Really great movie, very enjoyable.

2023-04-24 19:41:33 +0000 UTCI just rewatched Seabiscuit recently after having seen it a few times years ago, and that movie still holds up. Such a great movie. I was also a fan of the Black Stallion as a kid, and still like that movie for nostalgia purposes. I also remember liking Hidalgo when it came out. Secretariat was just OK. But Seabiscuit is really head and shoulders above these other movies listed here, that movie is absolutely excellent and gets my vote.

Arki Kali
