A box-office hit when released in 1994, this sprawling, frequently overwrought familial melodrama may get sillier as its plot progresses, but it's the kind of lusty, character-based epic that Hollywood should attempt more often. It's also an unabashedly flattering star vehicle for Brad Pitt as Tristan--the rebellious middle son of a fiercely independent Montana rancher and military veteran (Anthony Hopkins)--who is routinely at odds with his more responsible older brother, Alfred (Aidan Quinn), and younger brother, Samuel (Henry Thomas). From the battlefields of World War I to his adventures as an oceangoing sailor, Tristan's life is full of personal torment, especially when he returns to Montana and finds himself competing with Alfred over Samuel's beautiful widow (Julia Ormond), whose passion for Tristan disrupts the already turbulent Ludlow clan. Under the wide-open canopy of Big Sky country, this operatic tale unfolds with all the bloodlust, tragedy, and scenery-chewing performances you'd expect to find in a hokey bestselling novel (in fact, it's based on the acclaimed novella by Jim Harrison), but it's a potent mix that's highly entertaining. Not surprisingly, John Toll won an Academy Award for his breathtaking outdoor cinematography. --Jeff Shannon

Recently watched it. I wasn't too surprised to see that it won an Oscar for Best Cinematography. I love movies that are set in Montana. This was an outstanding movie, possibly the movie that confirmed Pitt was going to be on top for a longgg time.

I pretty much missed the 90's when it comes to movies, but I'm catching up now.

Wow, you sound like me, except I missed a lot from the 80s and from 2000-2006.

I really love this movie. Actually saw it in the theater. So many great lines. "I loved her! I love her still." "You say that again and we're not brothers." "I'll wait for you. However long it takes, I'll wait for you forever."

Love it.

I wish I had missed this one. This movie so damn cheesy. Those lines you quoted are terrible.

Cut me a break. I'm a chick.

Perhaps I should have clarified my statement. My friends and I quote those lines all the time, which is probably why I find them awesome.

This is definitely one of my favorites.

Spoiler

I was only 11 when this movie came out and I remember being horrified at the thought of Tristan cutting his brother's heart out and taking it home to their father. I remember telling my brother that if I died, he'd better leave my heart alone! lol
