Directed by George Stevens in 1956 and starring Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, and James Dean, Giant lives up to its name.

It's Texas! Giant in size, giant in ambition, giant in the emotions generated by massive forces of nature and humanity.

Easily the least dated of James Dean's three starring films, its themes are still relevant to us more than 50 years after it was made.

And what more could you want than three magnificent actors showcased by a great script?
