Remember ( vaguely ) a documentary series in the early eighties, I think called QED. God knows what that stood for, but one episode was all about testing, and a lot was about tractor safety cabs.

Race against the harvest

John Deere combines

 

[Red Fred]

Black Sheep, anyone?
watched it on tellie the other night and thought it very silly.

I get a narrowed stare when I watch period dramas. I'm supposed to be admiring the acting or listening to the story and I'm scanning the horizons for tramlines or whatever. I also get called "RainMan" when they show a car journey close up and I task myself with guessing the vehicle from the window frame or seat back rest; the ultimate being when I cry foul that the vehicle soundtrack doesn't marry with the vehicle shown

The Land Girls with Anna Friel must have done your head in... Mind, Anna Friel can come and mess with me any time

The Eagle has Landed, is famous for the early tramilines to be seen...

Seabrook's Year

Loved that series when I was a lad. Think he died soon after the last series. Richard Evans did well though think he farms a lot of sheep and Stabiliser cattle.
Remember one programme they had an old boy on talking about when he cut the end off his thumb, went to the farmhouse feeling quite woozy sat down and the farmers wife brought him a glass of milk and he says in his Suffolk drawl ‘my dear I couldn’t drink that if I felt well’

 

[Wilberforce]

The Godfather and Jean de Florette, the two extremes of farming.

 

[B R C]

Jean de Florette, great book, good film, and, I got the wrong title, Sunset Song. If you think farming is hard(like me) you should watch this!

Memphis Belle (the modern one) had a binder in it.

 

[Paddington]

Mr Majestyk, Charles Bronson, farmer, has his melons shot up by the mafia, also Linda Cristal off the High Chaparral.

Great film one of my favourites but like war film the binder part also has tram lines in the Field

 

[Bruce Almighty]

Miles from Home, featuring Richard Gere

Also an Australian film called No Worries

I think they are both sad films where families lose their farms

 

[Pasty]

Anyone seen 'The Levelling'? Very powerful film and quite humbling to watch. I think it's on Sky Cinema and maybe Netflix or whatever.

 

[pellow]

the price of milk, NZ film with Karl Urban, quite good

a field,or maybe the field with Richard Harris, Sean Bean is terrible in it

 

[ThatsSomeSheep]

Braveheart.

Wallace was a farmer (of sorts)

A bit of a light hearted thread, i would like people to say what feature films they like and why, with some agricultural content, to start the ball rolling, a film i saw on the tv a few years ago, its got sissy spasak and mel gibson in it, i think its called the river, about a small struggling farmer. Any others good and bad, i also seem to remember a british tv series drama in the eighties about a farm in the west country, what was the name of that?

Unforgiven. Clint Eastwood leaves the pigs with the kids and goes to do what he does best.
