Summary: MOST DEFINITELY THE BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!
Review: COME ON, VIEWERS AND CRITICS OUT THERE. YOU HAVE TO ADMIT THAT GONE WITH THE WIND HAS A CERTAIN ELEMENT THAT MAKES IT FAR MUCH BETTER BEYOND ALL HISTORICAL FILMS. THE PLOT AND STORYLINE ARE SUPERB. THE ACTING IS FANTASTIC. AND THE ACTION IS MAGICAL. HOW CAN ANYBODY NOT LIKE THIS MASTERPIECE OF A MOVIE? AND IF YOU'RE THINKING THAT THIS IS JUST A CHICK FLICK, THEN YOU ARE SOOOOO WRONG. THIS IS A MOVIE FOR EVERYBODY, AND IT'LL KEEP YOU ATTACHED TO YOUR SEAT DURING ALL 3 HOURS AND 55 MINUTES. I GUARANTEE IT. SO FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT THIS FILM, I ASSURE YOU, THIS IS A MOVIE THAT WON'T LEAVE YOU DISAPPOINTED.

P.S.: THE ENDING IS THE BEST PART.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What Can Be Added?
Review: Is Gone With The Wind the greatest example of filmmaking? No. But it is one of the greatest examples of movie entertainment out there. The proof is in the way this movie of epic length and proportion has held the audience attention for over sixty years. Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh are larger than life as two of the most famous characters of all time. Gable in particular deserves credit for a performance that displays a wider emotional range than we're used to seeing from him. Olivia deHavilland is perfect in a role that must have been difficult to bring to life and seem real. Hattie McDaniel is terrific, finally given a chance to show her dramatic ability instead of simply being comic relief. Only Leslie Howard fails to deliver, and he seems uncomfortable with his role. The technicolor is beautiful, the swelling score is unforgettable, and although I think the first half of the movie works better than the second half, the film as a whole reminds you of the magic that movies can make.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Missing the point
Review: I think the previous reviewers were sadly missing the point. Of course the two principal characters were less than perfect people--the beauty of the movie, all visual splendor aside, is the way it makes us care about these sometimes horrible people. Who wants to see another movie with cut-out characters who never waver in their ideals or morals? The relationships in Gone With the Wind are sometimes messy and sometimes infuriating, but never fail to be engaging.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: WHY?
Review: Why all the fuss about this movie? I agree with Helen Davidson using Rhett Butler's quote, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." So much is said about this movie and it just doesn't live up to it. With the exception of the panoramic scene of the wounded soldiers, the rest is trite. The acting is terrible, with the exceptions of Hattie McDaniel and some comic relief from Butterfly McQueen. The plot was ludicrous, the characters uninteresting and unappealing, and basically the whole film mediocre at best. I remember seeing it when I was a child (in re-release, I'm not that old) and thinking it was great but after sitting down recently and watching again, I was amazed that this holds such esteem in the film world. Either I;m missing something or it's a question of the Emperors New Clothes.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn
Review: Just saw the movie on DVD... began the book years ago, but only got 3/4 of the way through. I can't believe that this movie is #4 on the top 100 Movie List of the Century. Both of the main characters are so lacking in integrity... Scarlet is a whiny, selfish brat with no appreciation for anything, and Rhett is a womanizer who only wants to love innocent girls half his age... and wishes that his wife was innocent like their daughter so he can lavish her with gifts! I wonder if anyone has counted the number of times Scarlet burst into tears during the entire movie. If it weren't for the character, Melly, I don't think I would have been able to get through the darn thing.

As in most book to movie ventures, so much was lost. The movie was snippets of the book strung together and a lot of the meat was lost in the interpretation. It makes me want to read the book again though, wondering how I'd view it now. But instead, I might just shrug it off and decide, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: BORING!
Review: I can't believe the American Film Institute would even dare mention this film in the same sentence as The Godfather, Casablanca, or Citizen Kane, which are all superior films. This movie was just plain and simple BORING. I give it 2 stars because of the costumes and production design. It held my attention for maybe the first hour but then just dragged off. And I don't have a short attention span if that's what you're thinking, which I'm sure fans of this movie who are reading this review are. I don't see the difference between this and any other one of those sappy romantic movies where they constantly soften the lens when focusing on the leading lady's face. Casablanca is a much better movie and is a helluva lot more romantic. All Scarlett does in this movie is complain, complain, complain. If I were Clark Gable, I would have laughed when she fell down the steps. The worst part is that the lousy twists in this movie go on for nearly 4 hours. Ugh. I should have rented this one first before I bought it. I'm still kicking myself. I suggest you don't make the same mistake I did and at least wait for it to come on TV first.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Greatest Film Of All Time Based On The Greatest Novel
Review: This has to be the greatest film of all time. It is the ultimate love epic ever made. The new digitally remastered version totally blows away everything else. The movie won ten academy award but should have won more. Clark Gable was cheated out of the best actor award. Although Titanic is a spetacular movie I still don't understand how it got more Oscars than Mitchell's epic tell of the south. In my opinion the movie has one flaw, it is a bit too long and yet still doesn't cover some aspects of the book. The movie has some of the greatest camers shots ever filmed. Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable were born for their parts. Everything about this movie is superb. Gone With the Wind lovers beware of the sequel...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: one of the most Racist films of all-time
Review: i gotta wonder about folks that enjoy this film.are they SlaveOwners or is that there Fantasy? there's nothing important about this Long-winded racist one -sided film.it's as bad as Birth Of a Nation.typical HollyWood.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I would give it never-ending stars if I could!
Review: I finished the book last week, and last night I watched the movie. They were both SO SO SO SO GOOD! I can't understand you people who only give it one star and say it was too long and boring. What do you suggest be taken out of the movie to shorten it? Anyone who says it is too long and boring is an uneducated swine that has ADD and doesn't deserve to watch anything this good. Even if 5 minutes was removed from the movie it wouldn't be as good. I totally recommend this movie to everyone. It is definitaly one of my top 5 favorite movies!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worth 10 stars!
Review: GONE WITH THE WIND simply put is one of the greatest films ever made! A deep and moving story that will keep your intrest for four hours! Clark Gable (Rhett Butler) and Vivien Leigh (Scarlett O'Hara) are perfect together! This film is wonderful on DVD! A must have film!
