Soundtrack English; Sensor Matic After his father's death, young Jim Craig leaves his home in the Snowy River valley to work for a wealthy landlord, who happens to be the estranged brother of Jim's mentor, a grizzled old prospector. While fighting to earn his spurs by breaking a herd of wild horses, Jim falls in love with his employer's spunky daughter. After his father's death, young Jim Craig (Tom Burlinson) leaves his home in the Snowy River valley to work for a wealthy landlord, who happens to be the estranged twin brother of Jim's mentor, a grizzled old prospector (both twins are played by Kirk Douglas). While fighting to earn his spurs by breaking a herd of wild horses, Jim falls in love with his employer's spunky daughter, Jessica (Sigrid Thornton). When one of the horses escapes and the blame falls on Jim, the boy must return to the Australian hills where he grew up, in order to find the horse and come back a man. Actor Tom Burlinson and director George Miller made their feature-film debuts with "The Man from Snowy River."
Miller should not be confused with fellow Australian George Miller, who directed the "Mad Max" series, "The Witches of Eastwick," and "Lorenzo's Oil."
Actor Kirk Douglas reportedly wrote much of his own dialogue for the film.
Additional cast: June Jago (as Mrs. Bailey), Kristopher Steele (Moss), Howard Eynon (Short Man), and John Nash (Tall Man).
Michael Lake served as production supervisor.
Production company: Michael Edgley International.
Estimated budget: 3.5 million Australian dollars. The ending chase scenes feature 90 horses and 40 riders.
Filmed on location in the Great Dividing Ranges in Victoria, Australia. Shot in Panavision and Eastmancolor.
Rated M by Australia's Commonwealth Film Censors.
A sequel to the film appeared in 1988, "Return to Snowy River."

Awesome!
I have had several copies of this movie and enjoy watching it every time I put it in. Good clean film and wonderfully produced, beautiful scenry with beautiful horses. A wonderful story of a young man trying to proof himself to be a man and a young lady just wanting to be free, falling in love even when the odds are against them. My heart just stops everytime I watch Jim ride over the edge, with all the other riders watching. Determination is the key to success and he proofs it.

Great for that "feel-good" down time
Man from Snowy River and others of the same genre makes me thankful of the production and director teams that know that most of us watching really do not appreciate the violence in recent movies. When I found out the story theme is not about a beautiful and wild black horse, but, rather a poem by Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson, I started to research the story. Now I understand the whole picture. Makes we want to return to Australia and see more of NSW, Victoria and South Australia in depth.
Thank you - Muriel Truett

ELVIS BY THE PRESLEYS is a two-disc audio companion to the 2005 television documentary of the same name. Selected by Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley, the songs here underscoring thoughts about Elvis from his family's perspective. The accompanying booklet, full of home photographs and liner notes, explains the selection of songs, so that "Heartbreak Hotel" can be heard anew as a testament to Elvis meeting Priscilla, and "Hawaiian Wedding Song" as an allegory of their nuptials.
The liner notes also suggest that certain songs point to aspects of the King's personality, such as his spiritual, "seeking" nature ("Peace in the Valley"). Disc Two features five previously unreleased recordings, including alternate takes of "Jailhouse Rock," "You'll Be Gone" (a song distinguished by a rare Elvis songwriting credit), and "Anything That's Part of You" (with vocal accompaniment by the Jordanaires). On the two private home recordings, ...

This geeky 1999 office comedy starring Ron Livingston as a corporate Everyman instantly gained cult status for its unabashed caricatures of office personalities, and its theme of corporate sabotage. Peter Gibbons (Livingston) is a typical middle manager living a mundane life amid a gray maze of cubicles. Everything in his life reeks of mediocrity, from the mid-size car he drives to the chain restaurant, Chotchky's (read: TGI Friday's), where he eats lunch every day. Even his apartment, a cookie-cutter duplex with walls so thin that he can chat with his next-door neighborhood through the plaster, is totally lacking in personality. The company where he works is peppered with ambitionless drones who blindly comply with the condescending requests made of them by their Porsche-driving CEO (Gary Cole). Then one day, Gibbons snaps. As a team of experts is brought in to enact large-scale layoffs, Gibbons simply stops trying and adopts an attitude of total disinterest. That is, he's ...
