Seabiscuit DVD (Universal's 100th Anniversary)

I liked the movie but it left out a few details that were in the book about the horse and the close relationship they had with the horse the movie was very good though

...I suppose because six horses were used, including one cast especially to lie flat out and sleep. The horse used in the racing sequences was Popcorn Deelights, a thoroughbred gelding who raced mainly in sprints of six furlongs. He was chosen for his speed and his break from the start. He was about five when the movie was made. He ran claiming races in Colorado, and then went on to a horse retirement center for the rest of his days He died January 20, 2022 at the age of 23. Not a bad life.

As someone who is not interested in horses or horse racing this movie was a pleasant surprise. Jeff Bridges was great as usual but Toby Maguire was outstanding as a young depression era jockey. Chris Cooper as the horse whisperer who trained Seabiscuit was also a standout. As a movie about a sport that was bigger than baseball, during the great depression, I learned something about race horses and enjoyed an uplifting story about people overcoming adversity.

Impeccable casting (even for Seabiscuit), superb acting and hearttugging storylines. Break out the tissues, wine, popcorn and enjoy.

Everything about this movie is great, except for the terrible dye job of Tobey Maguire's hair. Really. It's just bad.

Awesome 3 hours! You wont be dissapointed.

. . haven't re-watched since ordering, but love this movie; love the scenery; love the music soundtrack. Only wish would be that the movie revealed more about Seabiscuit's owner, automobile entrepreneur and businessman Charles Howard, before and after his purchase and time with Seabiscuit.

La pelicula me encanto

I received the dvd in a good amount of time and there was absolutely no issues with the quality of dvd received from the seller.The dvd story itself was very disappointing. In my opinion it was just a poor horse racing movie. Any kind of story was lost by the flicking back and forth in the storylines. In the attempt to make this film stand out, the producers added so much swearing, using God's name in vain, inappropriate brothel scene, kicking a goat...etc Seriously unhappy as I tried to watch this movie with the family and some of which were young. If your looking for a good family horse movie try Secretariat instead with fantastic.

A brilliant movie about a homeless boy, millionaire and a cowboy brought together by a horse that became famous, very moving and great to watch with their combination they succeed in the race circuit. The actors are fabulous so I rated this an A grade plus for the full on entertainment that goes with the story, the problems of training and the up and downs in their journey to glory. Highly recommended as this is a great movie and worth having and watching. Now time to relax with feet up and munchies by your side. Enjoy!

This is a wonderful film, based on the true story of the race horse Seabiscuit. I am not ashamed to say that I have watched this film at least 3 times and every time it has brought tears to my eyes - tears of joy for the determination of people, and horses, to overcome adversity and to recover from terrible sedbacks, and to go on to achieve the remarkable.Set around the period of the depression in the 1920's the movie relates the story of how 3 people- Seabiscuit's owner, trainer and jockey, overcame their personal losses and tragedies in pursuit of their dreams.Superbly recreated scenes which almost exactly match the original newsreel footage, and totally convincing acting from all the main players make this an entirely convincing and satisfying movie - one of my favourite films ever. You don't need to know anything much about horse racing to enjoy this film - try it - you'll love it!

dts 5.1 is great,the encode needs no enhancing..just play it through your home theatre kit on 'standard' to benefit from it.,just wonderful.Is over 2 hours,,not that it drags a bit,because it doesn't,but make sure you have a butty with you coz the movies sentiment will be too exhausting otherwise.Pause if the kettle beckons because this too will be a requirement-very exhausting,,BUT it is worth it.The transfer is remarkable on this '03 release-was on mine anyway.,looked & sounded like a bluray.(modern equipment is great)Strongly recommend watching through a 5.1 home theatre kit,dvd's are fantastic-and I think people forget that with the onset of high def.I recommend this dvd,the quality of the audio and video transfers are so that its not worth the extra for the bluray...unless you HAVE to own it.Wazza.

This is the most well told and fascinating film in my 1000 film collection. It is the classic story about the unlikely hero and a piece of american history.Gary Roos is a moviemaking god. Too bad that he does not do this very often, (witch led my to see all his movies), but I guess when you do them this well, it takes a huge effort.People outside the US - SEE THIS FILM! There have not been much distribution/marketing outside USA, and that is really a pity, because this movie is among the absolute best I have seen, and the style of storytelling is simply through the roof.Thumps up to Gary Roos and the fantastic actors that took this movie though the roof. Thank you.
