1. The Black Stallion (in my opinion will always be #1)
Buffy
I love The Black Stallion, used to be near the top of my list but unforturnately I had to move it down a little in the order to make up for later additions. Its still in my top 15 though.

The first hour or so on the island when its just the boy and the horse and no dialogue are stunningly beautiful and to me one of the most enjoyable sequences I've ever seen on film.

The racing part is a little hokey but even so I get chills watching it every time.

Watch the movie again and it will move up on your list.
