Summary: Parents - Make sure your young children see this great movie
Comment: As a parent, I recommend this to all parents who want to expose their kids to life and love, animals and nature, bravery and endurance, death and survival. I also enjoyed it as an adult for its scope and depth of emotions. Especially good for kids who complain about boring road trips or "Nothing ever exciting happens" , Lets hope it makes it to DVD as I only have an off-air vhs slp recording. Ask your kids if they know what a Dingo is ? Do You ?

Summary: Distribute this movie on DVD - now!
Comment: I've been looking for this movie on DVD for years. I saw it in the 80's and found it deeply moving. It's fixed in my heart and mind. Powerful life lessons starting with the opening scene. This is a family classic in the rough. And YES, it is NOT sappy.

Summary: Excellent - 5 PLUS STARS - All time favorite
Comment: True to life story with Oscar winning performances. You cannot see it just once and get it, the sound of the rocks, just listen and learn! It is in some ways difficult to view, but well worth seeing. A real story of life and death. Survival is the key objective. I've lost two children of my own to cancer. I get it. Life is not a walk in the park, it is a difficult experience. This is not an easy story but it is a learning experience. The little boy would not have survived without the lessons he learned from what seemed a mean and disagreable person, that was the farthest from the truth. The moral is life is not easy, people are not what they seem on the surface and life renews itself in ways we do not comprehend. The title they gave it doomed it. Earthling seems like an alien movie. Plus the critics don't get movies with real moral essence. Watch it once and you will NEVER forget it! My daughter (now deceased) paid $85.00 to buy it for me as a gift when it was first released on VHS. It is priceless........

Summary: acting,scenery,music all there
Comment: I saw this movie when it first came out. Very underated by critics as the acting by Holden and Schroeder is excellent. I really felt for the characters. The music is, for me, spiritual. I have been trying in vain for years to secure the song sung by Maureen McGovern. Don't know the name but it means so much to me.
Let us get it on DVD.
