The Man from Snowy River | Year: 1982 Classification: Feature Film Family Directed: - George Miller Actors/Actresses: - Tom Burlinson - Kirk Douglas EXCELLENT HORSEMANSHIP MOVIE One of the best horsemanship movies ever made. The presentation of the main characters exceeds most movies. The actors, Kirk Douglas (playing a dual role), Tom Burlinson and Sigrid Thornton were made for their roles. There are parts of this movie that stand out as unforgettable. -- The startling beauty of the Australian outback; the wild horses running free across the vast wilderness; the men on horseback riding out on their search for Jessica; and, the ride of Jim Craig straight down the mountainside. It is a movie to be watched over and over again to see things missed the previous time. This movie is a must buy. Absolutely Amazing I grew up watching this film with my parents. I can say that this film is just as amazing now when I watch it as an adult. The film has such amazing scenery: from scenes in the mountains with the clouds low around them, to the beautiful shots of the river, the scenery helps make the film so fun and wonderful to watch. The acting in this film is very good. Kirk Douglas does an amazing job as the father of Jessica, who just wants her to live a proper life. She, on the other hand, wants something more from life, and eventually, falls in love with Jim, the stable hand who lives in the famed Snowy River Country of Australia. The themes of love beyond class, and a young man comming into himself, this is one of those classic films that you just want to see over and over again. I would recomment this movie to anyone who loves an amazing story, with breath taking scenery along with it. Great movie, with beautiful music and scenery!! I was only nine years old when this movie came out, and I have loved it ever since I first saw it in the theater. I am a horse lover and rider myself, and so I'm sure that's a big part of why this movie is one of my favorites, but I think even people who have never even been around horses can appreciate it. The acting is excellent, and the scenes with the horses galloping across the gorgeous Australian countryside, are wonderful. One of my favorite things about it is the music. The music is some of the most beautiful I've ever heard. The soundtrack is definitely one of the highlights of the film. And of course, I can't forget one of the most incredible scenes I've ever seen in any horse movie, which is where Tom Burlinson gallops his horse down an unbelievably steep mountainside. My family and I have always wondered if this was actually done by a stunt rider, or if it involved trick photography. Either way, it is a very impressive scene, and will leave you in complete awe. This will always be on my list of all-time favorite films, and I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the Western-type genre, or anyone who loves horses.
