a flawless classic...

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2006)

I was thrilled to see Gone With the Wind in the Top 250, but then I was shocked to see that it was somewhere in the 170s. Having seen most of the movies in the Top 250, I can safely say that Gone with the Wind belongs in the top 10, if not in the top 5 or 3. It is a classic, and 70 years later I feel that it has not aged the slightest bit. Modern movies with their flashy special effects will never equal the subtle emotion and vivid storyline of Gone with the Wind. The acting is superb, especially Hattie McDaniel's convincing portrayal of Mammy, Olivia DeHavilland as the compassionate and reserved Melanie, and of course, Vivien Leigh's emotional and brilliant Scarlett O'Hara. The bottom line? Watch this movie, and watch it again. When you have, and you haved loved it (as I am sure you will) come and rate it on IMDb, and maybe it can get the ranking it deserves.
