A River Runs Through It (1992)
This famous movie from the 1990s follows brothers Craig Sheffer and Brad Pitt as they grow up and react to their strict father, Tom Skerritt. It’s a period piece, in the years after WWI, going through the Great Depression, and while the boys take their separate paths, they’re always tied to each other because of family, home, and their mutual love of fly fishing.
Robert Redford directed this family drama, and as always, you can see his love for nature in every scene. He’s also the narrator in the movie, so if you think you recognize the voice in the beginning of the movie, you’re right. Redford specializes in directing beautiful nature scenes and capturing emotional turmoil within a family. A River Runs Through It is very pretty to watch, but as much as I love Robert Redford, it’s not my favorite of his films. Don’t throw anything at me, but I’m not really a Brad Pitt fan, so I found myself rooting for Tom Skerrit more often than not.
Watch the preview to see if it’s your style. I like The Horse Whisperer better, but if you’re one of the millions of people who drool over Brad Pitt, you’re going to want to rent this one alongside Legend of the Falls.
