Good feeling film for young and old alike ...
Good feeling film for young and old alike ...
|Posted .I defy anyone who can walk away after viewing "The Black Stallion" without a smile on their face. The cinematography is superb, Rooney and Reno are outstanding and perfectly matched. I own few movies these days, but BS is a must have in anyone's collection. I gave my original to my grand-daughter for her last birthday. Cheers!

Loved the movie
Loved the movie
|Posted .I had seen this movie previously and wanted my 8 year old grandson to see it. It was on on-demand one evening and I taped at my home. He saw it and loved it so I ordered his copy for him to take home and watch with his parents. It is wholesome, beautifully photographed, and is about a very special relationship between a boy and this lovely wild arabian stallion who were marooned on an island.

Best quality print on Criterion Bluray!
Best quality print on Criterion Bluray!
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendAt first I was skeptical after owning the MGM DVD and a couple of other video transfers over the years. The picture transfer is better than I expected. For a picture shot on film more than 20 years ago - you would expect plenty of graininess. The only grain I could detect were typical in night time exposures. Well worth the purchase - the sound and music score make this one of the better purchases for a classic film that stands the test of time. Well done!

Favorite movie as a kid!
Favorite movie as a kid!
|Posted .I love this movie it was my favorite movie as a kid! My only reason for not giving it five stars is because the quality isn’t HD but I assume it’s because it’s a very old movie overall good quality and so great to see this movie again on my big TV I bought from Best Buy!

Superb Cinematography!
Superb Cinematography!
|Posted .I remember watching this film when I was 8 years old and this movie captured my heart between a boy and a black stallion. There was hardly any dialog in the film but it didn't matter, because the bond between the boy and the horse speaks from the heart, and the Cinematography and the musical score was exceptional! Highly recommended!

|Posted .Although it was released many years ago, this timeless story is still a very good film about a boy and his horse. The Black Stallion was a family favorite, and I was happy to re-discover it at Best Buy.
