That's a tough category in that most films regarding farms are about how tough it is. BABE is a good one and then there's the THE GRAOES OF WRATH or PLACES IN THE HEART. But I'll think more on it.

Don Wagner

The Horse Whiperer Robert Redford

VM Kane

The land girls - some of the romances between people are a bit formulaic, but the romance between the camera and farming is gorgeous.

VM Kane

Witness is a gem of a movie

Chicago Artist Jon

My all time favorite movie Hud with Paul Newman 1963. The Big Country 1958. Maybe City Slickers 1991.

sammy

Hey! LEGEND OF THE FALL ( 1994 Brad Pitt ) is way better than all those movies combined!

Yorkshire Shaft

Young guns is the only one Ive seen.

VM Kane

Surprisingly few westerns actually get into the mechanics of ranching or homesteading (other than Centennial, but that's 20+ hours of investment). Will Penny is pretty good on cowboying, and The hired hand has its moments too. If you count TV movies, there's the wonderful Conagher.

Tom

The Grapes of Wrath And Hud Are both excellent

Duke Pootentooter

Rams (2015) **Funny old Icelandic mannies alert Minari (2020)

"Open Range" is a great western, that touches on the rivalry between Ranchers, Farmers and "Free Grazers" (ie. Cattlemen that own land and those that move their cattle between public lands.) And as a bonus, it features a few cranky old men, some you root for, and one or two you definitely root against. You also may want to check out the series "Downton Abbey". It is set on a early 20th century English estate. Much of the sub-plot of the stories involve the practical management of running a large agricultural estate. It's a part of that world that is not often covered in period dramas, and they make it interesting.

Patreot

โ€œLittle House On The Prairieโ€ premiere episode. The premiere episode was a tv movie, longer than the standard tv show episodes that followed. The premiere is astonishingly strong film making actually. It holds up very well.

Clayton Johnson

An Unfinished Life (2005) with Robert Redford, Morgan Freeman and Jennifer Lopez. Takes place on the Ranch of a old Rodeo competitor.

JD

Babe. Of Mice and Men.

Datsmeharse

I'm the 3rd vote for The Big Country 1958, it's a large-scale FOOW epic I'm sure Dawn would enjoy and is set on a Western cattle ranch. For a small farm and a simple sweet story, Our Vines Have Tender Grapes 1945.

JL Green

2 great ones; Shane and Pale Rider ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿพ

Louis Marzullo

Brokeback Mountain, Mr. Majestyk, Cold Mountain

JL Green

New List; Buck and The Preacher, The Harder They Fall (2021), Posse (1993), Rosewood (1997).

Louis Marzullo

"Ulee's Gold" is an absolute must now! You'll understand why when you see it.

Louis Marzullo

Dawn, I sent you a DM regarding a personal, positive experience with a GoFundMe page. Hope you can read it. โ˜บ๏ธ

Echo

Son in Law, would have been good for American Thanksgiving (November). Misery has a pig and a farm... sort of, but you've already watched that, lol.

Tom

It's a movie. It is what it is. People can't be offended by things from the past

Carlos Perez

SON IN LAW ๐Ÿ˜† or Fly Away Home

Mannygogou

This is my suggestion! The eternal struggle between the farmer and the cow-hand ๐Ÿ™‚ But maybe they can be friends.

Mannygogou

Field of Dreams (1989) ...looks around at the cornfield then at the farmhouse Also Open Range (2003) and Oklahoma! (1955) For a few minutes of farm living there is also Interstellar (2014) it starts and ends at the farm.

Bjรถrn Karlsson

Lamb - A creepy Icelandic movie from 2021. It's about a couple who raise sheep. Noomi Rapace from the Millennium trilogy has an importent role ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Tim Coates

Field of Dreams

Michael S Schultz

Chicken Run! and for a modern take on "save the farm", Hell or High Water (one of the best scripts of the last 25 years)

Ray Thorne

Disorganized Crime (1989)

Dolf (a.k.a. Anders Ericsson)

Signs (M. Night Shamliya or whatever his name is) Fargo, think it was last season that had some farm content.

John A

Best Farm/Ranch movies: Places in the Heart (1984) Sally Fields Great movie Babe (1995) Just a fun movie, if you like pigs and animal in general The River (1984) Mel Gibson The Horse Whisperer (1988) Robert Redford, and Scarlett Johansson Country (1984) Jessica Lange and Sam Shepard The Man from Snowy River (1982) The Egg and I (1947)

Dorsalfinsky

It would likely get few views, but Iโ€™d be interested to see the 1939 version of Of Mice and Men. If for nothing else then to see if Dawn recognizes George.

CinWin

Hey Dawn, Nope is actually the movie title. I don't think Jonathan was just trying to be defiant...were ya', Jonathan? LOL๐Ÿคฃ

Chicago Artist Jon

This is gonna be another poll list of great movies impossible to really choose from. Just watch em all.

Louis Marzullo

Oh, I get that. Alot of people do. I just think it's a bit of a stretch for this poll. I'd love Dawn to watch Gosford Park someday. Love that one! Btw, is that you petting the tiger??

Eric Janssen

1988's "Funny Farm" is a movie woefully forgotten in the list of actually-good Chevy Chase films. (Think "New England Vacation".)

CinWin

Something To Talk About (1995): Horse ranch A Walk In The Clouds (1995): Vineyard The Horse Whisperer Witness (1985) Amish country Field of Dreams (1989) Corn farm City Slickers (1991) Dude ranch The Grapes of Wraith (1940) Orchard/Cotton farm

Andreas

City Slickers

Ted Little

Of course, the only farm movie worthy of consideration is the one your audience has never heard of: "The Egg and I" (1947).

Dimi

I suggest Clarkson's Farm

Alan Jones

Looks like an overwhelming wealth of choices. I'll just second (or how-manyeth) some already mentioned: The Big Country (1958) (Gregory Peck is GREAT in this; best ranching vignette involves a rogue "unbreakable" horse; then he and Charlton Heston get into an all-night fist fight, but end up on good terms; Burl Ives pretty much steals the show. Chuck Connors, pre-Rifleman, plays a horrible meanie. Magnificent music score; Jean Simmons is wonderful as well. Caroll Baker for eye candy, Charles Bickford in a strong character role. THIS IS A FILM YOU MUST SEE, at least once in your life!! IMHO) Places in the Heart (1984) (Sally Field and Danny Glover really get into the farming here and have a massively difficult time making a go of it.) Oklahoma! (1955) (mostly a love story with a good old-fashioned song score, but some sense of farm life seeps through now and then. Brief glimpse of cattle ranching near the end, too. Mostly song and dance. Once was considered edgy and innovative, at least in its Broadway incarnation, but now a bit dated and corny. Rod Steiger as villain Jud Fry is outstanding. Shirley Jones film debut; chemistry with co-star Gordon McRae is magically delicious.)

Louis Marzullo

Why would you think that? I've never heard of it but at least 2 patrons (John A & Allyn Vannoy) suggested it before you did. ๐Ÿค”

Elliot Nesterman

"Oklahoma" but not the 1955 film adaptation. Watch the film of the 1998 West End revival, starring Hugh Jackman as Curly (the romantic lead). It's available on youtube. For my money, Jackman is the best Curly ever, not disparaging the great Alfred Drake who created the role in the original Broadway production.

Alan Jones

If the object is to get a view of farm or ranch life, the new version gives you stage sets, while the film version give you real-world landscapes. I've only spot-checked my way through the Jackman version just yet, and it looks to be a darned good stage version. I still like the film version, partially because of the wide open spaces, and, yes largely from nostalgia. I will admit there are casting anomalies in it, mostly Eddie Albert's atrocious Persian accent, and Gloria Grahame's weirdly nasal approach to character. Still, I'd say both versions are good in their ways, pending a more thorough watch of the newer one.

Datsmeharse

The Egg and I is certainly good about small farms and somewhat true-to-life; hopefully Dawn wouldn't have the same experience with hers lol. The real story behind the book/movie is not so funny though.

john ruddick

"Open Range" or "The Big Country" if ur thinking US classics "The Grapes of Wrath" 1940 or for a change of scene try "Out of Africa" 1985 set in 1920's Kenya or for a british classic "Watership Down" set in the country.

Wayne Hodges

"HUD" - 1963 Oscar winning film starring Paul Newman.

Patreot

Louis Marzullo

Can we just put musicals in their own separate poll(s)?

Philip Cook

Yes I agree! I was trying to think of farm/ranch movies and forgot this gem. Sure to be another Best Movie Ever.

Philip Cook

I really like Places in the Heart (1984) starring Sally Field (Forrest Gump's Mom).

sammy

Might as well pick a movie when they invented the camera... why do you need a go fund me page you are married to a millionaire?

Tom

It's a very powerful scene. But it fully develops the main characters and changes relationships between them

Elliot Nesterman

As a theater guy I almost invariably prefer a stage production of a stage musical to a film of the same.

I know that TV series are not normal on your channel, but as a regular/weekly/ongoing post, you may want to take a look at "Green Acres" 1965 if you want to watch, maybe, the funniest show ever about a "Wee Farm". https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058808/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_green%2520acres Another excellent "Wee Farm" show is "The Good Life" 1975, also known as "Good Neighbors" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075511/ I grew up on a farm in Iowa and then spent 35 years as a cattle buyer for the largest beef producer in the U.S.. There is nothing to compare to farm life.
