This film from the wonderful book touches something very deep in the British soul, the setting, the music the atmosphere. Watching this calls to what it is to be British. Every autumn when the October winds arrive over our wonderful Island it's time to light the fire and put on 'Far from the Madding Crowd'. I defy any English woman not to cry at this story. Long survive our wonderful Island despite all recent woes. To understand what it is to be English is something special and this film reeks of it .

Well I'm English and a countrywoman, and I love Hardy, and I wouldn't give you a thankyou for this Americanised bowdlerised version. And I'm sure Bathsheba never wore all that eye makeup!! I much prefer the 2015 version. I believed in the central characters, and Michael Sheen is compellingly tragic as Boldwood, disintegrating into obsession.

[@steviealessi]

@@kateking3953 Absolutely. I'm English and a countrywoman too (never assume from names!) and I still think the original is best one !

[@chrissnuggs]

Breathtaking, stunning. A sublime quartet of actors, plus poor Fanny. Julie is just ..... divine. Could well be the finest film of passion, devotion, loyalty and tragedy ever made. And that musical score ..... WOW .......

[@lilybond6485]

One of the most beautiful movies I have seen in my decades old life. No point in doing a re-make.

[@KG-vr3te]

Through bushes and briars .......

[@miketutek3366]

Dustin Hoffman on Director John Schlesinger's passing, " I will not see the like of him again".

[@KG-vr3te]

No other musical score surpasses, and no remake will ever overcome, this stands alone forever

[@lilybond6485]

I really cannot understand how a re-make was done with this movie. You cannot improve on perfection --- and this movie had it in every way possible. I won’t look at the re-make. What’s the point ?!

[@lilybond6485]

2 of the most beautiful looking people on the planet at that time. I felt an “Oh my God” inside when I first caught sight of the both of them. I was 12 yrs old. Terrence Stamp so outrageously handsome with that black hair and blue eyes and Julie Christie -- So gorgeous -- I was thinking - “I wish I could look just like her - so beautiful” that English beauty. Actually, I thought Terrence Stamp was beautiful. Not many men you can say are handsome and beautiful at the same time but Terrence Stamp nailed it.

[@lukasmiller486]

The perfect movie to watch for Valentine’s Day.

[@ziggypop8106]

This film is a masterpiece in every way. Julie Christie, Alan Bates, Terence Stamp and Peter Finch, absolute gold. This voiceover is inappropriate and awful.

[@johnkeating4221]

Brilliant film well acted.

[@thomasreghi7052]

No one but me could be old enough to remember the regularly scheduled commercial fro television 1972.

[@TGIFurry]

I'm trying to watch the 2015 Kerry Mulligan danger-free chocolate box version. It has no risk, no texture, no pulse,. It's just a museum full of pretty paintings.

[@viviennetwigg8096]

A beautiful adaption of this novel

[@ziggypop8106]

Waterloo Sunset 🎶 'Terry and Julie'. These two, of course

[@ziggypop8106]

[[The two lovers in the lyric are named as Terry and Julie. Interviewed in 1967, Davies stated that "if you look at the song as a kind of film, I suppose Terry would be Terence Stamp and Julie would be Julie Christie". ]] The reality was Davies just picked two everyday common names that young people would identify with

[@chrislewis-n3v]

i remember when this was originally released and it got some poor reviews so was not expecting much when i watched it- who exactly are these critics ? this is a classic version of the thomas hardy novel-(funny we studied far from the madding crowd for o level and i had paid no attention in class so knew absolutely nothing about it- luckily they showed this film on tv the night before the exam so i watched it and based my answers on the film- i passed!

[@stevenfox6501]

i've only evEr wotch'd this version.. the trailer's enough really.. i woz a young man back then in my mid-teens i'm near enough sixty now and films hav a simple plot.. i find it well nigh imPossible to looz mySelf in any film even clip for nigh three minutes.. give me neil sedaka calendar girl any day..

[@darwinsfish]

The supreme version.

[@cheeseandonions9558]

This movie didn't need a remake... But the American accents are a bit maddening...

[@MartinDelCarpio]

cool

[@heliotropezzz333]

I don't like the narration in the trailer. It's very 'Hollywood' and over simplifies while over hyping aspects of the film.

[@halfwaydowntheroad]

It's on TCM today.

[@jghall00]

What was he swinging that sword at?

[@johngadsby6599]

Why an american voice!!!!!!

[@johngadsby6599]

@Jarred Knox Nothing wrong with the voice just didnt seem to be appropriate for a very English Film. You may not know that Thomas Hardy books were often set as Part of A Level and O level English Literature exams and certainly students were encouraged to watch the 1967 film which is really quite faithful to the Novel.

[@Muirmaiden]

Because it was distributed by MGM, an American company. Same with "Doctor Zhivago" (1965).

[@steviealessi]

I agree, I suspect it's due to a lot of american money funding the production! Remains a British classic and touches the English soul in ways only a Brit would understand !

[@onaciomcorp3332]

stamp- the full face of casey affleck in younger age of 1960

[@lilybond6485]

Surely you jest.

[@Vesnicie]

Oldies are not always goodies. I prefer the Baeza/Parker/Firth/Terry late 90s TV production.

[@farmgirl768]

Am sorry but the Mr. Oak here is not interesting.

[@heliotropezzz333]

You have to see the film to appreciate his character. He is steady, loyal, honest, practical, and the best match for Bathsheba in the long run, but he is not someone she is attracted to in the beginning.

[@Muirmaiden]

Are you kidding? Alan Bates was ruggedly handsome, and one of the finest British actors of his generation

[@ziggypop8106]

Oh yes Alan Bates was a bit of allright as a young man so was Terence Stamp. Finch good as the handsome older man.

[@MerkinMuffly]

Bad casting and screenplay, John Schlesinger's worst bomb.

[@alanculbert5146]

You have got be kidding!

[@lilybond6485]

Has to be a comment just to get a reaction.

[@steviealessi]

I can only assume you are seeking a reaction , certainly not English and certainly not au fait with the wonder of English literature, This film is a masterpiece in recreating the atmosphere of the book and to this day touches the soul of the English in a very special way.
