Race Against the Harvest (1987)

I love this movie

'nough said - one of the greatest custom combining movies ever. Probably one of the only ones too...but it still brings tears to my eyes when I see the combine derby. November 30, 2008

BEWARE!

This is a really great movie, unavailable on DVD. I'm sure that's why there seem to many cheap copies being sold on Amazon. This tape is valued at $50. If you see it for sale at less than $40, be sure to read the description carefully. Bootleggers rarely use the words 'authentic' or 'original'. Also beware if all of the seller's titles come with 'artwork cut to fit hardcase'. You should email the seller specifically to ask whether their tape is authentic or a copy. Click on 'customer images' to see how to identify a bootleg so you don't get ripped off like I was! October 15, 2008

Awesome Movie

This is the best movie around. I hadn't ever heard of it and my husband had mentioned something about so I researched it and found the movie. He was on a custom cutting crew for 2 years. His family also farms. It portrayed what the american farmer goes through and how tuff life can be for them. I loved the movie and recomend it to anyone who is thinking about buying it. I even enjoyed when they were cutting with the very same combines that we still cut wheat with today. We have even participated in a combine demo derby....so we could releate to evey part of this movie! If I could give it more stars I would. Just AWESOME. October 3, 2006

Excellent Portrayal of the American Farmer

As the previous viewers stated, This is a great movie and the lives that farmers and their famalies live everyday. Having lived on a farm all my life in West Texas, and my dad and uncles Custom Harvesting cotton in South and West Texas and then seeing this movie made feel feel that the director and the cast really must have done some serious research and investagating to have written such a great sory and pick such a great cast for this epic movie in my mind. For the people who have never been on a farm that have never seen this movie, trust me it will make you feel that you too are part of an American Heritage and you can't help but have compassion for the Greatest Life that a person could live. I wish all of the bureaucrats in Washington could watch this movie and come to realize that this is exactly how our farmers live everyday and come up with a plan to support our great growers instead of tieing their hands behind their backs and to stop importing so much that we as Americans can provide to others thus improving the lives of our own famalies.

"THE REAL THING"

Wowa! If you dont live on a farm or have never been around one, you should really watch this movie, to actually get the feel of what they go through. I have lived on a farm my whole life and harvest is always the most hectic time of year... Just watch this movie and you will know what I mean! When this movie came on tv back in 1987, I was just 1 year old, but my brother and dad recorded it and they watch it over and over and over!!! I just pre-ordered it, so i really hope i can get one so they can have a real copy of it! American Harvest - there's just no other name for it. Farming is tough work and many people take it for granted... If I would have been able to have rated this a 10 Star movie, then i would have!! It's the real thing! :) June 23, 2003
