The above clip doesn't seem to be well-cited on YouTube. It is from "Far and Away" (1992), starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Here's the IMDb link for the movie:

Cimarron won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1931. It is based on Edna Ferber's novel about the Land Rush. Cimarron was the first (and until Dances with Wolves) only Western to win an Oscar for Best Picture. Largely forgotten today, you can find the trailer here
