Summary: I'll never be hungry again
Review: Scarlet's famous line from a truely timeless movie. She wasnt hungry again, a survivor, a liar, a deviant and truely selfish southern bell brilliantly done by the beautiful Vivian Leigh. She is one of my favorite actress'. Wonderfully transfered to DVD and a must for collectors.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely Incredible!
Review: When I first saw the length of this movie *approximately 4 hours* I was a little skeptical. Would this length make for several boring parts? I decided to see the movie anyway, and I am SO glad that I did. Gone With the Wind is an absolutely spectacular movie, filled with every element you could wish for in a movie; romance, action, drama, and more. The story is timeless; Scarlett O'Hara *stunningly played by Vivien Leigh*, a coquettish, selfish, and conceited Southern belle who attempts conceals her inner cleverness from the male population, is the main character of this story. She is madly in love with Ashley Wilkes *Leslie Howard does a rather good job making this character exactly what he should be*, an abnormal young dreamer, who happens to be engaged to his cousin, Melanie Hamilton *beautifully portrayed by Olivia deHavilland*. When war breaks out in the South, Scarlett's world is turned upside down. During her odyssey, Scarlett meets Rhett Butler *incredible Clark Gable does a flawless job*, a cagey, aloof non-gentleman who can see through Scarlett's coquettry. Thus begins this tale of love, war, loss, and gain. This is truly a film that you DON'T want to miss.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie is anything but Gone with the Wind
Review: Ever since I first saw this movie when I was a little girl I have wanted to be Scarlett O'Hara, and even though I know she was trouble I don't care. She has a quality about her that made every man love her and every woman jealous of her. Olivia deHavilland's portrayl of Melanie was beautifully done. And who could forget the dashing Rhett Butler,who was played by Clark Gable. Besides the cast this story has every element: love, war, betrayl, death, survival,and an ending that makes you want see more!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: As Good as it Gets!
Review: I thought that the movie was incredible. Vivian Leigh who plays Scarlet a headstrong, spunky girl during the Civil War gives a wonderful performance. Clark Gables is one of the most greatest stars of all time, stars as the handsome Rhett Butler that get to say the words that are what the movie is known for, "Frankly, my dear I don't give a damn." Olivia de Havilland gives a great supporting role as the weak, but kind hearted Melanie Hamilton. The movie really lived up to the book it's based on, by Margaret Mitchell.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ultimate Hollywood Splendour given inferior DVD treatment!
Review: Without a question, "Gone With The Wind" is the greatest epic ever to come out of Hollywood. The DVD adaptation has a brilliant picture, yet it is NOT in letter-box format (which would give the viewer a 100% panorama picture instead of a "TV chop-chop" format). There is also an inferior mini-trailer in the shape of a brief picture-book flip-thru with a little bit of dialog from the stars, but it hardly compares to other, much better movie trailers. There are no other DVD "gimmicks", making this DVD something of a disappointment. The film itself is still very enjoyable. Those of us who were priviledged to see GWTW on the silver screen should be warned that the DVD version is not quite up to standard.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Who cares what anyone else thinks? This one¿s DA BOMB!
Review: Yes, I did see James Cameron's "Titanic," but this 1939 megahit is a whole lot better. For one thing, it was drawn form the hugely-popular Margaret Mitchell novel of the same name. Secondly, the new digitally remastered soundtrack and the same technicolor glory it always had doesn't make it seem 1939-ish. And finally, the whole cast is wonderful, even though Vivien Leigh and Hattie McDaniel were the 1939 Oscar winners, for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively. The film also won eight additional Academy Awards on Oscar Night 1940, including Best Picture. And on top of all this, it was voted #4 on the AFI's (American Film Institute's) 100 Best Motion Pictures of All Time, AND the greatest romantic film ever made, too!

The film is about a young girl named Katie Scarlett O'Hara (Ms. Leigh, who died in the 1960's), a very spoiled brat, who's in love with Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard), a Twelve Oaks resident. Unfortunately, Mr. Howard is engaged to another, much kinder woman (Olivia de Havilland). But Scarlett tells off Melanie, that kind woman, believing she's a "silly little fool who can't open her mouth except to say yes or no and raise a pile of lily-mouthed brats just like her" or whatever the hell she says. But then she meets Rhett Butler (Clark Gable), a poor outsider from Charleston who likes her. And after she finishes taking care of Melanie on the day of the birth of her son, she eventually ends up marrying Rhett predominantly for his money. And he starts spoiling her silly until...well, if you haven't seen the movie, I won't give away the ending.

Ms. Scarlett often tells Mammy (Ms. McDaniel) and Prissy (Butterfly McQueen) to do things for her. (Poor slave women...) Anyway, I think that unlike "Titanic," which I saw at least twice over and whose dialogue is mainly routine compared to that of this film, why not go with this film over the James Cameron film just mentioned? It is the bomb.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Easily and still the best movie ever made
Review: Needless to say, GWTW is a classic and one of the most highly reverred and famous movies of our time. This for many reasons-- the cast, the scenery, the story itself-- one of the tradegy of war, the quest for finding your true love, friendship, betrayl, and lots of Southern charm. Even though GWTW was made in 1939, it is still relevant and a story that is timeless; that's probably the reason for its longevity. The performances were also very impressive and at the height of their time. Vivien Leigh, an actress from England who was practically obscure, won the coveted role and played a belle from Georgia with incredible flair and talent. Clark Gable and Olivia de Havilland and Leslie Howard round out my favorite foursome of classic Hollywood actors, who helped make this film the triumph it was. GWTW is a movie phenomenon. It was and still is a masterpiece that has not been met and can't be touched. I highly recommend it to any one and everyone who wants to be dazzled and have their emotions tested.
