This is just one of my favourite movies - the epic love story of Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara against the backdrop of the American civil war. Scarlett is one plucky lady which you have to admire but you are also torn because she hurt so many along the way - sometimes without really meaning to to help others. Who can forget Rhett leaving saying 'Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn,' and that Scarlett got her come uppance - having to learn a hard lesson to appreciate what you have when you have it rather than looking for more and more - materalistic things and wealth ain't going to ultimately make you happier.
LOVE IT!!!!! After reading the book I realized that it's one of the few movies that you could say it made justice to the book... The characters are amazing...
