gwtw submitted by a2sue on August 26, 2013, 1:01pm this film is extremely long, but it's good! my favorite line is rhett butler's parting words to scarlett at the end. an all-time classic!

Great submitted by kelleyc on August 3, 2016, 10:06am Such a great movie, but don't expect to feel happy about everything!

Classic! submitted by neit on June 20, 2018, 6:09pm The movie is well-done, especially for the time period when it was made. The acting is very good. The storyline is interesting. The movie has a bit of everything for everyone (humor, action, drama, etc...) It truly is a classic! Be sure to check it out!

Didn't care for it submitted by cbrewster on July 3, 2018, 1:15am I don't really love the story. I did not expect to dislike Scarlett as much as I did. She was such a brat and I found it so annoying. The movie in general was not really what I expected it to be. I found it very depressing especially all the war scenes.

Gone With the Wind submitted by Namkyoung Kim on June 16, 2019, 9:38pm I saw this movie for the first time when I was young. It's good to see it again after 30 years.

Frankly Scarlett... submitted by tbbrown76 on July 24, 2019, 11:40pm It's old, but it's a classic. Really well done for the time period. Kind of sad, though. Makes you want to be nicer to people. Recommended.

Not PC submitted by amy on August 29, 2019, 7:42pm Admittedly not PC today; but frankly, my dear, who gives a damn?

racist movie submitted by tisaallen on June 16, 2022, 3:56am The movie and the book it's based on have done more than almost anything else to perpetuate an inaccurate and romanticized view of the slavery era south.
