This movie is one of our family's favorites. It is the true story, autobiographical tale by author/teacher Norman Maclean. The cast in this movie is wonderful; main characters played by Brad Pitt, Craig Sheffer, Brenda Blethyn, Emily Lloyd, and Tom Skerrit.  The setting is in Montana of the early 20th century, about two young brothers growing up in the home of a Presbyterian minister superbly played by Tom Skerrit. The father is an erudite man who not only homeschools his boys in the scriptures, but classic literature and poetry. A far better education than received in schools. However, he is also a fly fisherman, and teaches them life lessons from this perspective as well. The story follows them as they grow into young men.
