War Horse
WIKI....
quote: War Horse is a 2011 epic war film adaptation of a 1982 children's novel set before and during World War I, by British author Michael Morpurgo, and the 2007 stage adaptation of the same name. It was directed by Steven Spielberg.
The cast includes David Thewlis, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jeremy Irvine, Emily Watson, Tom Hiddleston, Eddie Marsan, Toby Kebbell, David Kross and Peter Mullan. The film is produced by Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy, and executive produced by Frank Marshall and Revel Guest. Long-term Spielberg collaborators Janusz Kamiński, Michael Kahn, and John Williams all worked on the film.
The film was nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Picture. It was also nominated for two Golden Globe Awards and five BAFTAs.
MY TAKE ON IT...INCREDIBLE! We ended up buying it. Such a beautifully told story, it will have you in tears in many places, but by the end...those tears are sooooo worth it!
Give it a 9 out of 10.

Re:
My wife and I saw it on the big theater screen (not one of those little side screens the movie houses have for movies that are on their way out). It was awesome, we talked about it for days after and even thought of going back to see it again. One of the few I say is worth the price of a premium movie ticket.
