Good but way too over-rated

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 1999)

This is the greatest movie of all-time according to many people. But according to me, it's good but way too over-rated. Gable is incredible, Leigh is breathtaking, and McDaniel is excellent. That's what I truly saw in this movie. But are three excellent performances enough to make a movie that good? They shouldn't.
When I saw AFI's top 100 all-time classics, I thought that it would be second after Casablanca or even maybe vice-versa but when I saw that "The godfather" was third before "Gone with the wind", I thought "Maybe it's a little over-rated" and when I did see it, I thought "This is over-rated". Now don't get me wrong, it's a must-see for any movie goer but it definitely doesn't deserve a spot in the top 40.
