A sprawling epic about a Texas cattle ranch during the state's transition to an oil-based economy, Giant (1956) holds up remarkably well as a study of power, racism and a long-lost way of life. Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, and James Dean give terrific performances, and director George Stevens won a Best Director Oscar.
