Summary: They don't make them like that anymore!
Review: GWTW is the apex of all that Hollywood has to offer . . . filmmaking, glamour, legend, costuming, storyline, acting. After all these years, I believe it's still the benchmark for epic storytelling on the big screen. Research the production and put into perspective the time in which this film was made, it's simply amazing. The film enraptures it's viewer and never once do you lose interest. From the opening scene of Scarlett and her suitors on the back steps of Tara to the end scene of Scarlett avowing to get back all that is hers... you are right there with her entirely. Vivien Leigh portrayed Scarlett perfectly. Clark Gable was simply amazing! There has never been such a strong, masculine character portrayal the likes of Gable as Rhett since! The entire casting of GWTW was perfect. The costuming by Walter Plunkett is simply grand . . . who doesn't want the ruby red dress that Scarlett wore to Ashley's party? This film is the most perfect example of Hollywood in its heyday and the apex of storytelling. Thank you, Mr. Selznick!

Summary: One of The Best Movies of All Time!
Review: This movie is breathtaking. Easily among the top ten films of all time. When a film can hold your un-divided attention for almost 4 hours, play with your emotions as this movie does and leave you enormeously satisfied, then it deserves to be called one of the 'all time greats'. Vivien Leigh gives one of the best performances ever as Scarlet, she's perfect for the part and she's everything a man could ask for, she's a real beauty, (she's my favorite actress). Clark Gable gives his most famous performance as Rhet Buttler, he should of won the Oscar. I identify with Rhet Butler and it's the kind of man I've grown to become, not because of this movie, it's just the way I was born. This is essentially a Civil War drama, top-quality entertainment. Olivia DeHavilland and Hattie McDaniel also give great performances. Flawless in every way. See this movie, this is one of the greats. Oscar Winner for Best Picture, also for best actress (Vivien Leigh), best supporting actress (Hattie McDaniel), Director and script.From a scale of 1-10 I give this movie a 10! Materpiece

Summary: Masterpiece
Review: What can I say? This movie is simply one of the best ever made. The acting is superb- Clark Gable at his best. You can't go wrong with a story like that- so daring for it's time (a liberated woman protagonist? gasp!) Altogether fantastic. It's sad that Margaret Mitchell didn't live to see how the popularity of her book/movie has endured into the 21st century, and is now maybe stranger than ever. Great great great movie. See it.

Summary: The Greatest Movie ever made
Review: Everyone knows about this Classic.I just wanted to write alittle about what this movie means to me.My Mom took my Sister and I to see "Gone with the Wind," when it was released again in the late 60's. They use to do this ever ten years.I was only 12,and the last thing I wanted to see was a movie about the Civil War that was over 3hours long.When the movie was over,I couldn't get it out of my head.I fell in love with Vivien Leigh.I wanted to know everything about her. I was shocked she was already dead. I also found out that Clark Gable was born twenty miles from my hometown,in Cadiz,Ohio.We still celibrate his birthday every year in Cadiz.Everyone's proud to have this great actor born in our hometown. I also fell in love with the soundtrack of "Gone with the Wind." I went to Sear's,and they had the tape. I was playing this record instead of the Beatles.People thought I was nuts,I just couldn't get the Theme from "Gone with the Wind" out of my head. I hate to see this Movie on the small screen.They should release it again on the big screen,like they did "Star Wars" a couple of years ago.

Summary: The greatest movie by Far
Review: This is the greatest movie that I have ever seen. This movie really does show life in the Old South. The performance by Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Olivia deHavlind and Leslie Howard are absolutly amazing. Vivien Leigh plays the part of a perfect example of a southern belle. I love this movie and it is not just because I am from the south.

Summary: the reason we have 5 stars
Review: The first epic saga. Vivien Leigh is magnificent and Hattie McDaniel deserved an award. You sure don't need me to tell you about Gone with the Wind. A must for and and all movie buffs. Just wanted to say I'm pleased with the DVD version.

Summary: hattie, vivien, clark and olivia...
Review: 1st of all, as an african-american, i have to say this up front...hattie mcdaniel gave the performance of a lifetime! (possibly, the greatest supporting performance of the 1930's! ) do no be fooled by those who say this is about slavery...gwtw rocks! to ssay mammy was a slave, it marks me as kind of strange that she would get the upper hand throughout...but more power to her! the pettioat scene w/clark gable is priceless as is the scene w/olivia after rhett's daughter died...between gwtw and rebecca (another one of my faves), david o. selznick had a lock on hollywood that no one cold shake!

Summary: Just plain bad
Review: I dont see how this movie can be thought good by anyone. Horrible acting, horrible story horrible everything. This movie is nothing like the book, and I hate it. ( I wish you could give these zero stars.)
Rating: 
Summary: Not what I expected
Review: I love the book Gone With the Wind, but the movie isn't what I expected. Movies about books usually leave things out but not the main character's children! The movie tells the basic story, about Scarlett and Rhett, but skips so many things it's horrible to watch. (I think Ashley is really ugly, if you want that kind of information.) I don't think I'll be watching this movie again.

Summary: Great Drama Deceptively Dubbed a Romance, Awesome!
Review: This is historical drama at its best. I am 20 years old and have tiptoed around watching this movie for some time because I am no fan of romantic comedies or romantic dramas. I have thought for years that Gone With The Wind was that type of movie, but bottom line this is one of the best movies ever produced in Hollywood. Which says something about Hollywood since this movie is over 60 years old! Set in Georgia before and during the civil war and centered around a spitfire young aristocrat named Scarlett (Vivian Leigh)who is disgruntled over the prospect of being ordinary, only to find adventure and intrigue through a well to do visitor named Rhett (Clark Gable). Scarlett becomes infatuated, but for her own misguided reasons. If I had known that this movie was so exciting, so beautiful (it's hard to believe when watching this that it is so old, but then again I did see the restored version). Every character is acted superbly (especially Hattie Mcdaniel who earned an Academy Award for her performance as Mammy, and I believe she is the first African-American to hold that honor). This movie held the record for most Academy Awards until some stupid boat movie came along and in my opinion this movie should still retain that standing). Gone With The Wind is one of the best movies ever, a classic not to be missed. So just remember its not a mushy love story guys! The only part I didn't like was the last line spoken by Scarlett, it should have ended with the word "damn" and the closing of a door. But that's Hollywood and its happy resolutions for you. You haven't seen a good movie until you can compare it to this.
