Summary: One of the Greatest Movies ever made
Review: How to begin? The movie is just fabulous. It is well cast, quite faithful to the book (important to someone who counts the book as a favourite among many) and it captures the tragic love story of Scarlett and Rhett very well. An excellent few hours escapism, and an interesting insight into the early years of Hollywood's block busters.

Summary: I am Gone WIth the wind with this movie!
Review: I love this movie! I am swept off my feet from the beautiful and confusing love life which Scarlett O'Hara lived. It has a wonderful background of what life really was in the civil war. It has made me see how a movie should really be.

Summary: This is one of the best films ever made
Review: I LOVED this movie. It made not be one of the most profound or original movies ever made, but it is entertaining, beautifully filmed for the time, and brilliantly acted. The screenplay is probably one of the best ever written, and anyone who loved the book will love the movie. The costumes, sets and cameras used make it one of the most magical movies ever made. It was a breakthrough in filmmaking, and it has been a favorite of moviegoers and critics alike for almost sixty years.

Summary: THE EPIC OF ALL EPICS
Review: Gone With The Wind is one of my favorite films OF ALL TIME. No matter how many times I watch it, I find myself engulfed,overwhelmed,moved to tears, chilled to the bone, and amazed at the pure marvelousness of the entire thing.EVERY FREAKING TIME.The acting is BRILLIANT from absolutely everyone.That's right, not a single performance is anything less than awe-inspiring.From Vivian Leigh as fearless and strong-willed Southern belle Scarlett O'Hara, to Clark Gable(WHY DIDN'T HE WIN THE OSCAR???????!!!?????) as the ultimate "non-gentleman" Rhett Butler, to Leslie Howard as the gentle,but slightly weak-minded Ashley Wilkes, to Olivia De Havilland as the deeply humane, and physically weak Melanie Hamilton.And, who could forget Hattie McDaniel as the feisty Mammie?THIS IS SIMPLY ONE OF THE BEST CASTS OF ALL TIME, OR DAY I SAY THE BEST????Every performance, is, I repeat, a testament to the power of acting. The dialogue is so damn good every time-and every scene stands out in my mind as a piece of cinematic history.And to those idiots who think that Scarlett O'Hara was a "bad,selfish" person, I could just spit on you.Here is a woman who had enough spirit and bravery to go against a society of pampered Southerners, a woman who fought with her sweat and blood to keep her family's plantation, a woman who rose after every war, ever obstacle, a woman who waded through burning cannons with a pregnant woman and a baby on her own-and you call her a bad person? Maybe she was selfish, but perhaps it was this selfishness that let her see that the important things in life weren't a good repuatation, or nice hands, but honor, and family, and the well-being of loved ones. She might have acted like a spoiled brat, but her fearless actions contradicted whatever egotism she may've shown through her words. I don't care who you are, where you're from, if your favorite movie is the matrix, I DONT CARE, this is a film that, if there ever was one, can be loved by ever single living and breathing soul.In this three hours lies a treat drenched in truth about the (corny as this may sound, its true!) endurance of the human spirit, the ties which bind human beings,and simply life-what it can bring, what it can take away, and what it can retain.Watch this absolutely timeless masterwork and relish in the power of the incredible acting, the brilliance of the dialogue,each and every scene which results in a film which is by turns witty, smart,weary, romantic, tragic,epic-ally moving and spine chilling.Brilliant beyond all words-and an asbolute masterwork which has already gone down, and will continue being known as one of the cinema's greatest pieces of art.

Summary: Lesley Howard is brilliant and a strong character
Review: In his role of Scarlett O'Hara's (initially) true secret love. I had been a fan of Mr. Howard's for many years. His performance here is among his finest. Also check him out in The Petrified Forrest. As for the rest of the film. When he's not in it it's a little strong on the romantic side.

Summary: Gone With The Wind
Review: "Gone With the Wind" is one of the most famous stories to ever grace the big screen. Clarke Gable and Vivien Leigh gave truly oscar worthy performances. The direction and the cinematography for this film is so powerful in this film, so it's no wonder why this movie is a classic. Although the movie is a bit long and paced, its still a must see movie for anyone who loves dramas. The story is basically about a young girl's survival around the civil war period and some of her misfortunes that she confronts. The story has all the elements of a great film like betrayal, lust, love, and so much more. This movie is a prime example of great film making, so I only wish that most modern films could be just as captivating. With such famous rememorable scenes like when Clarke Gable says at the end to Vivien Leigh, "Quite frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." is truly one of the more powerful scenes (and most quoted) in film history. Overall, anyone who loves movies as much as I do will love this one.

Summary: Most Overrated Hollywood Film
Review: I'm a big film buff; I can assure you this is NOT the greatest movie ever made. Overblown and overly long (even the opening credits last longer than they should!), engrossed with its own sense of enormity, not exactly true to history ("See? the slaves were actually happy!"), and much of the acting and dialogue feels dated. But the worst aspect of this film has to be the shrill, unattractive Scarlett O'Hara. I'm not criticizing Vivien Leigh's performance, and she is a very beautiful woman; it's just impossible to get into the movie when the protagonist is so unsympathetic and inexplicably drawn to the total cad Ashley. I give it 2 stars; one for its importance in the history of filmmaking, and one for the hilarious and touching performance by Clark Gable, perhaps the only reason to view this film more than once. If you really want the greatest film ever made, try Casablanca or Citizen Kane; and if you just can't live without color and BIG production values, try the much more inventive and charming The Wizard of Oz.

Summary: greatest movie ever
Review: I definitely encourage people to buy Gone With the Wind. I love this movie because of the time period in which it takes place. The setting is during the Civil War when all the elegance and simplicity of the early 1900s were being destroyed by a war. I love this era of American History because of the clothing and the mannerisms of the people, so this movie hit home for me. This movie does not stray from what actually happened during and after the Civil War. Many war movies today exagerate war scenes. There are very little war scenes, but the movie keeps you up to date with what is giong on throughout the war. The actors in Gone With the Wind were casted perfectly to fit the characters that they play. the actors made the movie feel as if you were living with them in the movie. you are pulled from you seat and anticipate the next scenes. the actors and the script bring you into the movie. i believe that a good movie will do this. This movie also has very touching music that goes along with the story line. The music helps the viewer feel the actual emotions of the movie and characters.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who really appreciates movies that are accurate to history, love the elegance and simplicity of the early 1900s, and like movies which pull them into the action. all of these points create this movie and make it an all time classic and favorite.

Summary: oh god
Review: Now, I know what you're thinking before I write this review. "what an immature idiot! Gone with the wind is a classic and its so famous. You are just not mature enought to appreciate all the effort that they put into it, you ungrateful modernized idiot!" Well, something along the lines of that.
But that's not true, this is actually an extremely boring movie. It is not the worst movie I've ever seen in my life, but it is truly bad. It just never ends! It's like they left the camera on by mistake and videotaped so many unneccessary things. And the lead character is so uninteresting. She is exactly like everybody else in the world. Spoiled, obnoxious, and shallow. Just because the Oscars like this movie doesn't mean I have to, but you can. I just really hate it. However, I appreciate the effort that they put into it. I can see that. It is great considering how old it is. But it's not 1930 anymore, its 2005. That's a little different. And there are soooooooo many movies out now that are exactly like it. So what if gone with the wind was original at the time? The time was around 70 years ago! But what do I know?
