Summary: Very Recommended!
Review: As an australian myself, I can say that this movie is one to be proud of owning. The characters depicted in the movie are very real and believable with strong screen presences such as Kirk Douglas and Tom Burlinson. Tie that all up with the beautiful scenery of the Snowy Mountains and the award winning soundtrack of Bruce Rowland, make this DVD one of my all time favourites.Saying that, don't waste your time or money buying the sequel. It is possibly, one of the worst movies ever made.

Summary: Want to Run With the Brumbies?
Review: Man from Snowy River, like most cowboy movies, is best seen on a huge-screen movie theater, but, if you donÕt have that, get the DVD and it can even pass the tiny-screen test of a laptop. It is a beautiful Australian movie that runs with the brumbies through each story line of a young manÕs and womanÕs rite of passage, the stale feud between brothers, petty coworker battles, a mine showing color and horses running and snorting everywhere. So saddle up with some popcorn and ride this movie into its vistas of green, mountains, fog and snow to a nice musical score. You will need the mountain horse that Spur gives you and a really cool dog to cross Snowy River. Hold on when you see how a real riders rides down the mountain.

Summary: The Man from Snowy River : way more than a horse opera
Review: The Man from Snowy River is one of the ten best movies ever made. Sure it has great cinematography, fantastic scenery and a GREAT cast but this motion picture is true literature. It's based on a poem by A.B.Patterson (perhaps Mr Patterson, a character in the movie). The story is about a young woman who's father plans to sell her to the highest bidder. The hero's initials are J.C. (look familiar) who comes DOWN to the low country (Earth) to free the young woman (the church) from Old Regret which is "The sins of the fathers being visited upon the generations". He chases down the horses which symbolize merciless FATE. He doesn't swing the heroine up into the saddle at the end but goes to prepare her mansion, promising to return. This is one of the best examples of biblical allegory ever. The Snow in Snowy River refers to something Isaiah promised. Another great thing about this movie is that Jim Craig is considered a hero not because he can kill but because he can WORK. DO NOT miss this movie.

Summary: EXCELLENT movie!!!!
Review: Except for a few unwholesome words, this is a great film. The scenery and horse are WONDERFUL! Most of the acting is outstanding, especially Tom Burleson. Also, get the second movie...Return from Snowy River...it's wonderful too.

Summary: Got a Child Who's a Horse Lover?
Review: My son (now 5) has always loved horses, so when he saw this movie for the first time he was absolutely entranced. He'd received a stick horse for his birthday when he turned 3, and soon after when he watched the movie he'd ride right along with Jim (he's got all the choreography down pat). He's pounded away miles and miles right in front of the TV, so much that we joke that we'll have to replace that part of the carpet before the rest of the floor. The best thing is that I don't have to worry about what he's seeing. No swearing, violence, or anything else you'd normally have to worry about. Definitely one I'm happy for him to have as a favorite movie. Besides, he definitely gets a lot of exercise!

Summary: Ahhh.
Review: I watched this movie recently after having a very stressful day of teaching children. THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER was quite relaxing and soothing. To be completely honest, this movie is a "chick flick". The main themes in the movie are the romance and the horses. The action sequences aren't that great and the plot is relatively simple. However, with that said, this is a well done chick flick. The acting is superb and I can just imagine how much fun Kirk Douglas must have had playing the dual roles his plays in the film. The setting is breathtaking spectacular and the score is moving. The directing is well paced and some of the scenes are unforgettable. However, as stated before, the plot is thin and there really aren't any action sequences (even the chase at the end isn't that impressive) and therefore the movie only gets 4 stars instead of 5.

Summary: A Majestic and Romantic Adventure
Review: This film is just as wonderful today as it was at the time of it's release. A teriffic story of an old romantic rivalry, a legendary wild horse, and a young man from the high country is played out against the rugged but gorgeous Australian landscape. It is cinematically beautiful, dark silhouettes of horses and two people falling in love captured in front of the orange and blue hues of the majestic plains. Tom Burlinson is great as the young man trying to "earn" his right to live in the high country after a legendary horse named "Stallion" causes his father's death when the herd of wild horses it leads stampedes them. Kirk Douglass has a dual role here as Tom's friend, a crusty but lovable miner who has been working the same claim for years, and his brother, a rich cattle rancher he goes to work for. Sigrid Thornton is beautiful as the daughter of the rancher, her dead mother being the key to the long years of hatred between the two brothers, something she is unaware of. Burlinson and Thornten begin an innocent but very real romance cemented when he saves her life in a storm. Her father, of course, won't hear of it, but his chance to prove himself comes when an expensive colt who may have ties to "Stallion" gets loose and starts running with the wild Brombies. This is a beautiful and romantic saga that has an ending full of hope, that is really only a beginning. It's old fashioned adventure and sterling entertainment that everyone in the family can enjoy. Sadly, they do not make many films like this anymore. There were sequels to this film as it was hugely popular but this is the origional one that started it all. The romance is teriffic, the horses majestic, and the acton, especially the chase of the wild herd through the high mountains and snow, are just a few of the reasons you have to own this. There are fine performances in this grand adventure and it will hold a special place in your heart once you see it.You'll watch it over and over with your family....
