> **papsett** has mentioned The Man From Snowy River. Spectacular cinematography, if a slightly corny story. Scenes of wild horses charging in slow motion through snow are strikingly beautiful. And there is a scene where a horse is ridden pell-mell down a steep incline that is very impressive.

No matter how many times I see that scene, it never fails to give me goosebumps.
