    Into the West, 1992 film directed by Mike Newell

    I haven't been keeping up with the letters, but if no one's mentioned this it's an absolute must. Terrific movie. It has it all: Ireland, kids, gypsies, a magic white horse; adventure, quest, magic. Throw in superb handling of serious thematic issues like identity, family, racism, death. And the performances are great, especially the kids. And the horse is beautiful. It really is a movie you do not want to miss.
