looking for a video
hi! i have watched a video,and i want to know if it is available online. the problem is that i don't remember it's name...

the video shows a 'commentary' guest lecturer in a college. during the video the actors say literally what they are doing and thinking- quoting a greek philosopher, reading out the text from the board and so on. the end title is 'communicate better'. can you help me find the video? (it should about 4-5 minutes long) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.86.73.161 (talk) 16:01, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Hallmark movie with a horse and a boy?
In early 2000, I saw a movie on Hallmark, possibly original Hallmark production, about a boy and his horse and how it got lost or he had it taken away from him or something. I just remember the kid (a little boy) standing on the porch saying thing like "I want my horse back", and I'd very much like to see it again. I have searched forever without finding it. I would guess it made between 1995 and 2000 (probably 1999 or 1998 or something), probably a drama, probably low-budget/obscure... and that's just about everything I can say about it from my current memory. Oh, and he clearly speaks in a US Southern accent.

If somebody can find this out for me, I would appreciate it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dffffdsfdf (talk • contribs) 17:13, 28 May 2013 (UTC)


 * You can start here List of Hallmark Channel Original Movies. You can also use the external links at the bottom of the article to search further. MarnetteD | Talk 17:20, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Am aware of that page. Not helpful. I have no idea what it's called, or if it was even an original one. And that page doesn't list the old ones... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dffffdsfdf (talk • contribs) 17:27, 28 May 2013 (UTC)


 * How about The Yearling (1994 film)? It's a remake of the 1946 classic The Yearling (film). I would bet a considerable sum of money (if I had any) that the 1946 version is better. Alansplodge (talk) 17:28, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * D'oh! Forget that, it's a deer not a horse in The Yearling. I knew it was a beast with four legs. Alansplodge (talk) 17:31, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Luckily for the younger fry here, it wasn't about the beast with two backs. --   Jack of Oz   [Talk]  20:33, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I found IMDb List of horse movies.
 * One likely contender is Flash (1997 TV Movie): "A boy falls in love with a horse named Flash that's for sale. He gets a job to earn the money to buy the horse, but he's forced to sell when the family falls upon hard times." Alansplodge (talk) 17:41, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes! I think this must be it! Thanks, everyone! I will try to find a copy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dffffdsfdf (talk • contribs) 17:50, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Damn. Sorry. It wasn't the right movie. I watched it all through and was 100% convinced it was it, and waited for the scene... but it never came. :( — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dffffdsfdf (talk • contribs) 21:47, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Updates: I got a really good answer the last time I asked this: "Flash" from 1997. However, I watched it all through and the scene was not there, in spite of everything else fitting in perfectly. I was convinced that the scene would come all the time, but it never did. I doubt it was cut out somehow, although I guess it's possible. What other movie could it be? He definitely had a thick Southern accent, which is what I mostly remember about it. It really surprised me that it turned out to not be the movie Flash. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dffffdsfdf (talk • contribs) 10:10, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
