Bardlerx Strictly average movie

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

calvinnme Each and every review of this film just gushes praise for it. I saw it yesterday on TCM and it was just unbelievably bad. Another poster on the message boards hit the high points - bad acting, bad direction, horrendous dialogue. I actually thought the cinematography was good but not great. I give it three stars because the idea was a good one, it's just a case of terrible execution on every level. This is not from some teenager who appreciates only comic book action movies. I was born in the year this film was made and I am ordinarily a fan of child-bonds-with-animal films including 1969's made-for-TV movie "J.T.", 1934's Sequoia, and the 40's "Rusty" series of films, which has also been airing on TCM as of late.I knew the film was in trouble when plastered in huge letters across the entire height of the screen was the name of someone I'd never heard of before as though he was Orson Welles or Spencer Tracy - Don McGowan. What followed were acting, writing, and directing credits, all by people with the same last name. Thus part of the problem could be that the film seems to be almost completely a family affair, so probably a family of film makers working on a project can't really be objective about the quality of a relative's work. My favorite scene: a real western fight breaks out over Snowfire and these manly men of the west are armed with - tree branches??? It really was ridiculous. And don't get me started on the girls - not twins - dressed in identical clothing.Most everyone here reviewing seems to be remembering it fondly from childhood, so I'm prepared to get pelted with eggs and tomatoes for writing this review. I think what has happened in most cases is that because this film is so rare they are remembering it from many years ago, and watching it again might be like revisiting your elementary school once you are grown - the fact is that the halls and the auditorium are much smaller and far less grand than what is enshrined in your memory. Only to cure yourself of your childhood illusion - assuming you want to do that in the first place - do I recommend you watch this film.

Varisha01 From a mailing list I'm on ... "There is a film buff from San Francisco, Sid Bloomberg, who DOES have SNOWFIRE available for sale in both DVD and VHS formats. (Sorry, it's apparently not available in either PAL or SEC format.) The price - shipping and handling included - is $38.00. So for all those HORSE-SENSE subscribers who are still in search of SNOWFIRE: Here is Mr. Bloomberg's web site, which includes his contact information: http://www.blsinc.com/rarefilms.htm" I have never seen the movie myself so I don't know how good or bad it is. I just figured I would share this info with those that are crazy about the movie SNOWFIRE.

Mark Snowfire was my favorite as a child also...I would so much love for my grand children to see it and enjoy it just like myself and my family did back then. Would be willing to pay a c-note to get it. Still can remember the theme song as the white horse was running. If I remember right the show was filmed on the family ranch out west. They have the rights I believe or something like that. Sure would like to see it again someday. Surely someone can get it viewed again. I do remember reading there was a fire at WGN and some copies of the old classics were destroyed. Then when I ran across this page it gave me hope again.Its a shame that movies of this quality theme are not around anymore. Flicka never held a candle to Snowfire in my book.

oldscifi My wife really loved Snowfire as a child and I read that WGN in Chicago used to air it occasionally on their "Family Classics" program. I've read so many comments here, and on other sites from Snowfire fans, that I am anxious to see the movie myself. I just e-mailed WGN and requested that they offer it for sale on their website -or at the very least schedule it for airing, as there are obviously many hundreds of fans looking for the movie. For such a small, insignificant film, it has apparently left a huge positive impact on it's viewers.May I suggest that any fan of Snowfire do the same. If we can make WGN realize that Snowfire has a large and vocal fan base, maybe they will agree to air this beloved movie again. If enough people respond to them, I'm convinced that they'll listen.
