Summary: World's Greatest Film
Review: The first time I saw this film I was 14 years old. I knew nothing about it at the time, but was told I had to see it because it was a CLASSIC. That day I fell head-over-heels in love with Vivien Leigh and Gone With The Wind. To date, I have seen the movie over 37 times and it never gets old. That first viewing was in CinemaScope, I saw it much later in the restored format and loved it even more. The last time I saw it in a theatre was at the Fabulous Fox Theatre here in Atlanta, GA which is where Margaret Mitchell lost her life crossing the street by a hit-and-run driver. It remains a testament to Hollywood magic and true screenwriting of the past. If Hollywood attempted to make this film now, it would be so bad that I wouldn't even watch it. The grandeur that is reflected in this epic of the Civil War and the aftermath of Reconstruction is by far the best I've ever seen. If you've ever seen an Atlanta sunrise or sunset, you would understand how much research William Cameron Menzies did to capture so precisely the colors and splendor of nature.

This film appeals to all age groups and never seems dated. The acting is first-rate and the story is one that will always stand the test of time. No film library is complete without this addition. Seeing it on DVD for the first time, I was astounded by the sharpness and clarity of the picture. Actually, I orderd this DVD even BEFORE I bought my DVD play just so that it would be the first DVD I ever watched.....pure eye candy!

Summary: I am changing my review
Review: Thanks to Mr McFarland I am changing my review. I always loved the movie. I just wanted to see it the way the director intended for it to be seen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Why it is 1:33 to 1
Review: To the previous reviewer: movies were not widescreen until the 1950's (to compete with the new tv); movies from the 1930's and 1940's were boxed and not widescreen. This DVD is in the proper ratio. You do not get much better than "Gone With The Wind" - it looks and sounds great!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A timeless classic!
Review: No wonder it swept the Oscars of 1939! Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable burn up the screen with the sexual chemistry between them. A great epic tale of the Old South during the Civil War. This quite possibly is the best movie of all time!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Confine reviews to the technical aspects of the medium.
Review: We don't need reviews on how good or bad the movie was. It's been around since 1939. People have made up their minds about it. However, we do want to know about the technical aspects of the disc and the format. I have ordered this disc but in checking the technical information I was apalled to see that the aspect ratio is 1.33 to 1. Is that true? Mon Dieu! Then why buy this disc? That's why I've given it only one star. I'll change it if the actual format is greater.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The guy above me does not have a clue
Review: That was probably the greatest film Hollywood ever put out. To try and describe it in words is useless.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A classic that doesn't add up.
Review: Gone With The Wind is a film that is hailed by critics and audiences both as being a true masterpiece of cinema. The fact is though, that most people, in order not to be bashed, simply view the film with the thought in mind that if they actually find flaws in it, then they will be ridiculed by others. I think this film is very overrated, and is not that great. I love classic films, and I have seen more than enough to know what is good and what isn't. I thought the story dragged in places, the acting was over done, and there wasn't enough going on to keep the film interesting. While it did have great color and great camera work, it was still a bad film. One of the few classic films that I did not like, but this is just my opinion. I can honestly say I could have gone my whole life without ever seeing this film, and I would not lose any sleep over it. Judge for yourself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Changed the film industry forever
Review: This is considered by many to be the greatest film ever made. If you consider the place and time this movie was released (in 1939) you'll see that this film was well ahead of its time. Margaret Mitchell's bestselling novel is considered to be the American version of Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace". David O. Selznick studios created this picture which does Mitchell's book complete justice. This film is one of the biggest box office draws in history; and it deserves to be so. Many fine actors and actresses have their talents immortalized here in this film which has great historical, as well as cinematic, significance. There was quite a search for just the right actress to play the highly-coveted role of Scarlett O'Hara; this could make the subject of a good movie in itself. American audiences were introduced to a fine British actress named Vivien Leigh by way of this film. Many say there never will be another picture made with the charm, appeal, and charisma of Gone With The Wind; it's quite possible they may be right.
