A sprawling family saga, with James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, Dennis Hopper and Rock Hudson – what more could you ask for? The performances are outstanding, and the Texas landscape is just plain beautiful.

Dean's career ends with a bang...

Hmmm... there were a lot of things that I thought were pure genius about this film. However, in other ways, I was quite disappointed. Where I thought Giant was awesome was obviously the fantastic acting and directing. Also, it had absolutely breathtaking art direction and cinematography. On the other hand where I was slightly disappointed was that the scenes and pretty much the whole film was a bi... read more

" James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson all star in George Stevens' sprawling 3 hour epic about life on a Texas cattle ranch. This movie is like an illustrious rarity- when 3 of the most beautiful people get together in glorious technicolor, it's definitely a memorable experience. Rock plays a raucously racist and sexist patriarch, and Liz his strongheaded yet tolerant wife. Jimmy is the perpetual loner who strikes it rich by finding oil on a piece of land left to him by his dead b"
