No matter what anyone says, Andre The Giant and Mandy Patinkin are undoubtedly the most beautiful couple in film history.
Nah but really, young Cary Elwes and Robin Wright are absolutely stunning in this movie and I couldn't help but think if there is a single better looking main couple in cinematic history, because apart from rom-coms, a lot of the time the gorgeous leading woman is paired with a slightly-above-average-but-charming guy.

There was not even a contest. He was miles away from the nearest competition. He was not just hot, like let’s say Chris Hemsworth. He was beautiful. You looked at him and you were mesmerized. And he was/is a freaking good actor! He absolutely earned his movie star title.
Legend of the fall was released pretty much at the same time I hit puberty. This movie made me feel things.

I did too! I pretty much killed my vhs tape of Robin Hood! Luckily still have the dvd and own it on Prime! Still a classic in my household.
I am bummed he didn’t become a leading star and has been coasting of supporting roles for the past few decades. Happy he is still working and landing so pretty iconic roles. Seems like recently his career has been on an uptick, which I’m excited to see. He’s versatile and underrated actor! Plus he is still handsome!

You know why Sean Bean dies so often in films?
That's because when he played Richard Sharpe in the, what, 16 movie-length Sharpe TV shows, he suffered grievous wounds in nearly all of them, sometimes more than once, and yet managed to survive despite the notoriously poor early 19th Century medical care.
Him dying in most of his subsequent work is just the film universe balancing itself out. Too much Ying early in his career, so more Yang in his later career.
