    Question Farming/Agriculture Movies -- need suggestions!

    I need some help quickly developing a list of fictional movies about farming and agriculture. I want to give a gift to someone who loves the field and teaching kids about it. I want the movie to be fictional and have farming be critical to the story. This means movies that have farming, but are not about farming (like Field of Dreams) don't count.

    Some off the top of my head:

    1) Grapes of Wrath (1940)
    2) Charlotte's Web (2006) - raising livestock for county fairs is an important part of american farming
    3) Babe (1995)

    Any others? Even good films from outside the United States would count for suggestions.

    Thanks!

    Ended up choosing Babe, Charlotte's Web, and The Grapes of Wrath. The rest were very depressing.

    The Grapes of Wrath was not depressing?

    That's still the most depressing book I'd ever read in High School.

    Had to throw in one non-kids one.

    Decided on that one because of the caliber of the movie.
