The Black Stallion (DVD, 1997, Letterbox and Standard; Family Treasures)

I did not receive this movie. Although my credit card shows it was charged. this is a favorite movie of mine.

I purchased this item as a gift for a grandson who is a 'horse nut. I was pleased to find it because it did not seem to be available in any of the usual retail locations.I viewed it (again) before I sent it to him. It's a great movie

Probably one of the best movies ever made. Often confused with a Disney Film, this a Fancis Ford Coopola film, same exec produce for Apocalypse Now and the God Father series. Movie tracks to the classic Farley book as well as possible and arguably has some of the best cinematic filming quality ever produced. The deserted island scenes are striking to say the least.

Definitely not just for kids. The movie deals at an adult level by bringing one back to the feeling that the young have when they act like that certain things are more important than life itself. Alec and the Black are timeless.

I decided to purchase this DVD for my kids because my oldest saw this movie in class after they read the book as a class during their library time. My 2nd child also read this book as a class during their library time. They both loved the book and my oldest loved the movie. We borrowed it from the library and we feel it is a good, clean movie that, in my opinion, is a true classic. If anyone has read the book, and likes to watch classic movies, I would recommend purchasing this movie. I bought the DVD instead of the VHS because we are trying to phase out all of our VHS tapes so eventually we'll only have DVD's. We are very pleased with our purchase.

The story, the photography, the cast and all behind the making of this great movie makes a perfect DVD to watch with your kids. Lovely!

I saw this movie when I was younger and wanted to share it with my children. There are few wholesome movies available to families. This is one that everyone can watch and enjoy. This relationship between a boy and his horse is beautiful.

The movie is beautifully photographed. It's a wonderful story about a young boy and his love for his horse and it is simply done. Overall a great movie for everyone regardless of age.

This is a classic movie and my daughter loves it! The scenery is amazing and the movie is extremely well done..

Old ...but a classic that all children should see!!

As a child, The Black Stallion was the first movie ever to make me cry. As a father, there was absolutely no way I wouldn't have shared this movie with my daughter. Even as an adult I found myself getting choked up a few times. I STRONGLY recommend this movie to anyone with the tiniest shred of emotion regardless of whether or not they have children. I would have given this movie a rating of "Best movie ever made" if that had been an option.

i HAVE LOVED THIS STORY SINCE I WAS A CHILD. I AM NOW 37 AND SHARING IT WITH MY CHILDREN. WRITTTEN BY WALTER FARLEY. IT IS A MAGICAL STORY OF A BOY AND HIS HORSE.

I remember reading the Black Stallion books when I was in junior high school. Then they made a movie from the story in the first book. The Black Stallion movie is fairly true to Walter Farley's tale. And what's not to love?

A young boy takes an adventurous trip home from Arabia, sharing the freighter he's aboard with a nearly wild black Arabian stallion. The ship sinks and the boy and the horse are the only two survivors. They wash up on an uninhabited island and must depend upon each other for their very lives. They develop a bond that only they understand. The boy gentles the horse and is granted the opportunity of the ride of his life on the horse's back.

They're finally rescued and travel back to the boy's home in New York. The boy boards the horse at the barn of an old race horse jockey. Henry, the old jockey, played by Mickey Rooney, instructs the boy in riding technique but is surprised by the amazing speed of the black horse. He begins to dream of the race of a lifetime.

This is a great family film but somewhat hard to find on the shelves at the local department store. Naturally, eBay was the first place I looked for it. This purchase will be passed along as a birthday gift to a young lady about to turn seven years old. She loves to ride horses and I'm sure she's going to love this film.

My daughter grew up with this movie and I was glad to find it here on Ebay and it being in excellent condition.

A movie classic! A stellar performance by Mickey Rooney! A childhood favorite of both me and my father!

I bought this movie because I saw it years back and wanted to add it to my collection. Outstanding film with scenery galore - great cinematography!
And, of all things, you can actually enjoy this film with kids of any age. If you like adventure, scenery and fast horses and out and out excitement ya otta just up and buy this one . . . you'll be glad you did.

Super movie! Was as it had been listed. Super fast delivery! Thanks, we opened that day and watched it!

The scenery is spectacular and the story is very heart warming. A family show. The cast is very good also.

Excellent movie adaptation of a beloved Walter Farley story. The scenes on the island are magnificent!

This movie is a classic - review not necessary. Great movie for kids and adults. Have been looking for this one for a while.

This was one of my favorite movies growing up. Directed by Stephen Coppola, this movie is very beautiful in a melancholy sort of way. Visually amazing, and with suburb acting (this includes the horse). I find it similar to The Secret Garden, another one of my favorite movies.

I bought this DVD because I have it on VHS and love it so much wanted it on DVD for future viewing. Wonderful movie, beautiful cinematography, awesome horse and scenic views. Would recommend this movie to all ages and especially arabian horse lovers.
