A River Runs Through It is one of those films that can be watched over and over.  The movie focases on the lives of two brothers(Brad Pitt and Craig Sheffer) growing up in Montana and the different paths they take.  The sons of a minister(played well by Tom Skerrit) they are brought up religiously with two faiths, the church and fishing.  Eventually Normon(Scheffer) goes away to school and Paul(Pitt) stays at home and becomes a newspaper reporter.  Years later, after finishing his degree, Normon returns to Montana to decide what he wants to do with the rest of his life.  While he was away Paul has developed some bad habbits, namely gambling.  Everyone in the family is aware of the problem but doesn't seem to want to confront it. Instead they go fishing and catch up on old times.  Normon meets a local girl at a dance and begins courting her.  This leads to a hillarious incident involving her brother, who is a compulsive liar and a drunk.  Eventually Normon settles on what he wants to do and Paul's problems come back to haunt him.  Robert Redford's excellent directing, along with strong performances, and breathtaking cinematography make this a very charming film. It is worth seeing, again and again.
