Director: Randall Wallace
Main Actors: Diane Lane, John Malkovich and Margo Martindale
Synopsis: (from IDMB) Housewife and mother Penny Chenery agrees to take over her ailing father's Virginia-based Meadow Stables, despite her lack of horse-racing knowledge. Against all odds, Chenery -- with the help of veteran trainer Lucien Laurin -- manages to navigate the male-dominated business, ultimately fostering the first Triple Crown winner in twenty-five years.
Rating: This was a spectacular movie. I absolutely love Diane Lane and I think she did a fantastic job in the role of Penny Chenery. I also love the storyline - all about a horse who just wants to run. I wish they would have involved Secretariat's personality a little more. He was known as a powerful, intelligent horse who liked to pose for pictures. They showed a little bit of this, but the movie was more about the people than the horse (well, as much as a movie about a race horse could be about people). It was just very touching to see the relationship between horse and jockey/owner and I would have loved to see more. This is definitely a must see movie if you haven't already!
