Gone With the Wind

Pros: Scarlett, Rhett and Mammy.

Cons: Ashley and much of the supporting cast.

The Bottom Line: Sixty odd years later, Gone with the Wind remains the quintessential Hollywood epic, if a highly inaccurate depiction of the Civil War era South.

Review: Herbert Scrawcrunch, that no good piece of poor white trash, seems to have returned from his trip to Tijuana. At least I can hear him and Doreen going at it hammer and tongs downstairs and that disgusting piece of corrugated tin that they call a...

Pros: characters and costumes

Cons: .......

The Bottom Line: ___________

Review: Women in love and men toting guns, that s what movies are about and Gone With The Wind is no exception. I ve heard a lot of people say this was one of the most successful movies ever made, don t know, coulda been.

Gone With The Wind...

Pros: great acting, beautiful production design, realistic customs, detailed screenplay, tight direction

Cons: At four hours it could be boring to those who don't appreciate it

The Bottom Line: This movie is considered one of the best of all time, and I have to admit it probably is.

Review: It's very rare that any medium of entertainment can give one an authentic, vivid sense of reality and life. All stories are about select moments of time and places in the characters' lives, but only the truly great ones are able to define their...

Pros: Acting, cinematography, costuming, detail.

Cons: It is long, and the depiction of the Old South attitudes will offend some.

The Bottom Line: This is a lush, faithful movie adaptation of Margaret Mitchell's tale of the Old South, with almost no flaws.

Review: Epic romances are not my kind of movie. Why do I watch this one, then?

Gone With The Wind, or GWTW, tells the story of Scarlett O Hara, a Southern belle from Georgia, starting when she is about seventeen. This is just before the Civil...

Pros: Strong acting, great plot idea.

Cons: A little longer than most audience will watch.

The Bottom Line: This is what every movie fan dreams of...an excellent all around movie.

Review: Since it's release in 1939 Gone with the Wind has been regarded as an American classic. Nearly everyone has heard of it, and know it's famous final line, but very few people have actually sat down for it's four hour run time to enjoy the entire...

Pros: wonderful, emotional, a classic

Cons: a little long for some viewers

Review: This film is truly a classic. The stars, the scenes, the music, and the one liners we all know by heart.

I recently rented this film though I have seen it several times. I must say that any movie that can keep me entranced for 3 hours and...

Pros: Masterpiece of Southern and Civil War History

Cons: Extreme Length

Review: Probably everyone who is an adult has either heard of or seen the movie Gone with the Wind. Gone With the Wind is one of the greatest box office smashes of all time and will continue to be for decades to come.

A brief...

Pros: Hattie McDaniel and Butterfly McQueen, the usual star stuff, photography, musical score

Cons: Just a little too much emoting for my taste, and shows racism with no apologies

The Bottom Line: This is a classic you NEED to see sooner or later. Why not now? You'll laugh, you'll cry..or you'll die waiting for it to end!

Review: Excellent sentiment for a country staggering out of a big depression, and one that must have hit home for at least some of the audience. While I toyed with the idea of a "Fiddle dee dee" or "Frankly my dear" title, in the end it is this statement,...

Pros: Southern Historical Film, A fabulous love story of love, war, and disaster.

Cons: Length, TV edited some from the original film so I'm told.

The Bottom Line: A must see Classic. If you are a video collector, it's a Must Purchase for your Video Library.

Review: If you have never seen or read Gone with the Wind it's time that you do. The filming of Gone with the Wind was completed December 11, 1939 after nearly three years in the makings. It premiered for the first time anywhere in Atlanta, Georgia on...

Pros: A marvelous plot, unforgettable characters, great direction and a magnificent cast.

Cons: Virulently racist, and why in the world did they cast Leslie Howard as Ashley Wilkes?

The Bottom Line: One of the most ambitious films ever made, that -- almost -- lives up to the hype.

Review: There has probably never been a movie as eagerly awaited as GWTW was in 1939, based as it was on one of the most popular books in contemporary American literature, and it was released to enormous hype. It was billed as the greatest epic of all time,...
