My all time favorite movie

Rating: 10/10 (11 December 2005)

This movie is my absolutely favorite. It is the only film I have seen from the studio era that makes me forget it was filmed half a century ago. The acting is superb (although I hated Vivien Leigh's acting in the scene with Mammie while she is getting dressed for the TwelveOaks Ball) and the casting is perfect.
Every film goer should see this film not only because of its quality, but also because of its place in history. GWTW was filmed during Hitler's reign in Germany, and it is reported that after watching this film Hitler dramatically increased funding to the German studios (which were at the time the only studios able to compete with Hollywood).
If possible, try and find a copy of the new DVD version. It has a special "Making Of" segment that is absolutely fascinating.
