The Best American Movie Ever

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 1998)

This is by far the best American Film ever made. The acting is right on for the character. Vivian Leigh is ideal for the melodramatic Scarlett. Clark Gable's charm is right on and is his best acting role (closely followed by It Happened One Night). Olivia De Havilland's idealistic Melanie is the perfect foil to the self-centered Scarlett. Hattie McDaniel is the actress that did the unthinkable; she upstaged Vivian Leigh in almost every scene the two actresses shared.
The movie, being nearly 60 years old, still holds up to today's standards of excellence. Gone with the Wind together with Clockwork Orange, The Empire Strikes Back, Sunset Blvd., and The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover make up my personal favorite movies of all time.
