Summary: Breathtaking
Review: To see this film on the big screen is to rethink all you ever thought of this film. Lush and glorious, the cinematography is unbeatable. Despite a few drags in the story line in the second half of the film (and the sheer implausability of preferring virtually anyone to Clark Gable), the plot is mesmerising and the acting is peerless, particularly the female leads. Wonderful film.

Summary: The Most Fantastic Movie Made
Review: I think this movie was just wonderful. It was made to display life back then so yes there is racism and sexism but that is just part of history. I think this is either a movie you love or hate but most people obviously do love it. I thought it stuck with the book very closely and would have loved to see all the parts in the book in the movie but then you get the people that think the longer the movie the worse it is so the shortness in understandably forgiven. I just cant wait to get this on on DVD.

Summary: Historically inaccurate!!
Review: First of all. An irish family could not get that high in society in the 1860s. Second of all. Scarlet was such a snot who was mean to the people who did the kindest things for her. Also it was a hideous soap opera. Scarlet would merry one person. They would die and she would not care a bit. She was in it for the money. Where is the 0 star rating?If she were to get killed I might just start clapping!

Summary: The best movie of all time!
Review: This movie is so beautiful. In it are combined all of the aspects that make up classic movies. The acting is brilliant. The only thing better than this movie is the book. One more thing, this movie is absolutly non-racist. It accuratly portrays life in that that era and place. Anyone who would not give this movie 5 stars is absolutly nuts. You obviously have no idea of what a classic movie is.

Summary: Big, big, big.
Review: This movie annoys me. I'm not a fan of sentimentality or spectacle, but this is the way to do it if you're going to do it. Even if you don't like this film, you can't deny the impact it has had on popular culture. Therein lies its greatness. Oh, and Sweet Hattie McDaniel... You just want her to wrap you up in your arms and tell you everything will be alright.

Summary: Is there any better entertainment?
Review: Is this a great movie? Absolutely!!! Maybe the acting isn't the greatest, its a one-sided view of history, and we all know that Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable didn't like each other. But oh, the spectacle! The story! The dresses! It is an unforgettable movie, and one which will never fade as an all time favourite. And anyone who calls themselves a movie buff, or someone who just wants to lose themselves in another world for some 4 hours, cannot go by this as great entertainment.

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.
