I could be happy with any of the movies, except for the Hannah Montana one. George Strait and Robert Redford - woo-hoo!!! I saw Pure Country on a plane ride coming back from Korea when I was stationed in Hawaii. Found out George got his start while stationed in Hawaii at Schofield Barracks, which is where I was back in 1990-1993. I could spend a weekend watching all of these and be perfectly happy as long as there is popcorn involved.

I've watched The Egg and I a few times over the yrs and yep Belle that's a good funny movie. All of John Wayne's movies were good but think I like True Grit the best. Plus the old spaghetti westerns with Clint Eastwood and the Trinity movies. Forget the actor's name but he had the bluest eyes. Made my teenage heart go pitter patter..LOL

I love the horsey ones, like Man from Snowy River and the Jack Bull. But Old Yeller and the Egg and I were great too.

horse movies ARE always good... the black stallion ones are my favorite! the newest black beauty was pretty good, too. and who could forget national velvet!

I love baby boom (diane keaton is awesome in any movie), that movie is inspiring. of course also fried green tomatoes, sweet home alabama, sarah plain & tall, little house on the prairie, places in the heart, loves comes softly.. (anyone ever seen the whole love series?) there are 8 movies now and I highly recommend them. They are awesome! I love movies from the 40's too- with all those movie stars, how beautiful they were. Country with jessica lange, the man in the moon with reese witherspoon, i believe it's her first movie- I love comedies too, americas funniest home videos.

Gosh, I haven't seen a lot of those movies, so I guess I have a list now that I will have to take to the rental place!
One I really love is a Disney movie, really old (I think from the 40's? I think it was made about the same time as the Uncle Remus movies) called So Dear to my Heart. It is really a classic and features Jiminy Cricket animaation along with the live actors who tell the story of a small village boy raising a black lamb and taking him to the county fair. VERY, VERY heartwarming and one of my all-time favorites.

I just love all these movies. New in Town is really good. And I had almost forgotten about The Egg and I
I still love State Fair, made in the 60s with Bobby Darin(swoon) and pat boone. Not the greatest acting but a fun old movie

I really like the western John Wayne movies seen them all hundreds of times. Broken Bridges with Toby Keith,
8 seconds about Tuff Hetterman and bull riding and Flicka. When I was growing up they had a series called My friend Flika.

My favorite is "The Egg and I". Is that showing my age? If you remember that movie, that is the one that introduced Ma and Pa Kittle. I'll not forget when Claudett Cobert goes to visit and they ask her to stay for lunch. They had to shew the chickens off the kitchen table. My Mom said that wasn't funny cause her Am Indian grandma did the same thing. She said not funny then, not funny now.

Oh man. Sweet Home Alabama, and STEEL MAGNOLIAS!!!!!! I love Steel Magnolias. I mean, it's not "country-country," but homey and southern. And, Sarah Plain and Tall, Skylark, and Winter's End; The Painted House...... a lot of Hallmark ones. |

Oh, you guys!! ""Sweet Home Alabama" is for sure one of my favorites, and "Fried Gren Tomatoes" is too -- I've tried to sit thru "Cold Mountain" without breaking out in a hysterical crying jag, but that movie just tears me up!!
I'll remember some others in a while, but for now that's my short list...

Don't laugh, but the Hannah Montana movie was a good one! And Flicka. I love that one. Then I watch things like Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, which I guess isn't a GOOD country movie, but it's a fun one!

Fried Green Tomatoes for SURE!! I LOVE that movie!
I've recently been watching Cold Mountain and Lonesome Dove. I've probably seen both 100 times, but I love them so much.
