30 Day Book Meme: Favourite Book Turned Into a Movie

Black Beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, I read that soooooo many times. The VHS is almost as worn as Fantasia. And that’s saying something. And Black Beauty has followed me into my adult life: the horse-drawn carriage company I work for is called Black Beauty.

Haha!

As for more contemporary options? I’m gonna have to go with The Fellowship of the Ring on this one. After all, it is the movie that turned me onto The Lord of the Rings. ANd it’s one of my go-to movies for when I’m sick and need some freakin’ awesome Nazgul action (seriously, I’m planning major Halloween costume. I know a big black horse that is used to walking through city streets. All I need is a costume and I’m good). The other go-to is Princess Mononoke, of course.

Anyway. Yes. Love it. And my VHS is signed by Sir Ian McKellan!

Don’t you need 8 pals for that costume? And the big black horses–though they weren’t really horses, I think…

Thanks for sharing. Always enjoy when your RSS feed brightens up.

Well, I’ve got the pals but lack the horses. The other big black horse is retired. And the one I’m thinking of has a problem with her throat so that when she gets excited it sounds like she’s growling. And messed up hooves from her logging camp days. All cracked, but fine to walk on thanks to my boss’s awesome farrier.

It’s always a pleasure hearing from you, Tony!
