This poll needs to be killed and re-started with more choices.

A Day At The Races and Let It Ride are absolute must-haves for any comedy collection, regardless of the horse racing connection.

Seabiscuit was masterfully done although there were certainly some liberties taken with the facts. Basically, I thought the movie was a great story that was generously sprinkled with truth. The manner in which the film was shot was incredible.

Dreamer, while compelling, lacked in the realism department, but is still an excellent movie.

Not a horse racing movie, but does anyone else remember the sappy movie from the '90s "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken"? It was where the girl rode the horse off a high-dive.

[OUDoc]

I don't think I've seen any of these movies.

[LosAngelesSooner]

Black Stallion is the best horse racing movie ever, IMHO.

[crawfish]

Equus.

I'm sorry, that should be movies about "horse riding". :O

[Jimminy Crimson]

Alex: The Life of a Child

[1stTimeCaller]

I'm sorry folks. Any film that has Bobcat Goldwaith (sp?) in it trumps all others of the same genre.
Here's an example, Police Academy > Untouchables

The Heist (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097495/)

[ChickSoonerFan]

Black Stallion. I agree. Hands down. Not all about racing but the best horse movie I have ever seen. I cried through a majority of the movie. But I cry at most movies.

I rented it a while back for my little one who loves horses.

[TexasEx4OU]

Phar Lap

Agreed. And with the exception of Seabiscuit, it's not even close. Not. Even. Close.

[critical_phil]

Agreed. And with the exception of Seabiscuit, it's not even close. Not. Even. Close.

Any movie where Lucas Black(sling blade) is romantically involved with a horse gets my vote!!!
