One of the Best of All Time!

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2012)

I've seen this movie maybe 50 times. It's a long one, about 4 hours long, but it is my favorite of all time. I love old movies, and there are many superb ones, but this takes the cake. It is superbly acted and directed, the Technicolor is beautiful, there is not a boring moment, and it sticks pretty close to the fantastic book by Margaret Mitchell. 1939 is considered to be the best year of movies ever... and this movie won 10 Academy Awards and Best Picture. That should tell you how good it is. To the people who say it is overrated... I COMPLETELY disagree. It is perfect.
Vivien Leigh. What can I say? She is perfect as the stubborn Katie Scarlett O'Hara. So beautiful, and so full of life. She completely deserved the Academy Award she was awarded (I mean who else even came close?). Clark Gable. Oh my gosh. So handsome, and so good as Rhett Butler. Olivia de Havilland. So sweet and absolutely great as Melanie Hamilton. Leslie Howard. Great as Ashley Wilkes. And Hattie Mcdaniel. Mm mm mm! :) The best Mammy they could have chosen.
In short, my favorite movie of all time! One of the best movies of all time!
