- Out of Africa - how could you not love a movie that opens with the line "I had a farm in Africa at the foot of the Ngong Hills"?
- The Land Girls - tractors, sex, and feminine bonding
- Witness - I love the Amish barn-raising scene in particular
- Cold Mountain - fabulous performance from Renee Zellweger getting stuck into vegetable-growing
- The Outlaw Josey Wales - one of my very favourite movies ever, and they all settle down on their homestead in the end. Perfect
- Little Women (the one with Susan Sarandon) - a very creditable adaptation of a classic book
- Chicken Run - remake of "The Great Escape" with claymation chickens from the makers of Wallace and Gromit
- Signs - spooky crop circles
- Oklahoma! - a movie about farming with songs you can hum. They don't make 'em like this anymore
- How to Make an American Quilt - feel-good chick flick with a great stoner granny, but for God's sake girl, stop dragging the quilt in the mud at the end of the film!

Just thought of another one that really should have made the list - Silent Running. It's a 1970s sci-fi movie about a future in which all the trees and plants on Earth are dead, and the only plants surviving are in huge bio-domes on a series of space stations.
"tractors, sex, and feminine bonding" - man alive! did I read that line wrong! :-D
