Logline: A contriving woman and rebellious gentleman (oxymoron?) have a tumultuous, even contentious relationship during the Civil War and throughout the Reconstruction era.
Memorable Moments: Melanie (Olivia de Havilland) is in labor and Scarlett (Vivien Leigh) discovers that Prissy, a midwife, lied about her midwifing skills—forcing Scarlett to get her hands messy and help deliver the baby.
Why People Love It: Besides being one of the longest feature films ever (at four hours strong), Gone With the Wind is a love story far better than many of its contemporaries, like Mr. Spark’s The Notebook.
Best Quote: Rhett Butler (Clark Gable): “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.”
