Leave your thoughts about Gone with the Wind.
| Matt's Movie ReviewsMatt EasterbrookGone With The Wind is among my favorite movies of all time, and it would be useless to go on and on about how great I think it is. |
| DVDTalk.comGil JawetzIt's so full of iconic moments of plotting and dialog that a feature film could be edited just out of the most quotable moments. |
| Film Quips OnlineJohn R. McEwenTreat yourself to one of the greatest cinematic experiences ever created. |
| Filmcritic.comDavid BezansonOne of the classic films that defined American cinema, Gone With the Wind is a rare example of a collaboration involving hundreds of talents and egos that turned out great. |
| EmpireKim NewmanWell, even if it is essentially four hours about a selfish, silly cow, it's impeccably well made, and should be seen by anyone with even a passing interest in romance or movies. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaA lost Hollywood art: the epic melodrama. |
| VarietyJohn C. Flinn Sr.One of the truly great films, destined for record-breaking box office business everywhere. The lavishness of its production, the consummate care and skill which went into its making, the assemblage of its fine cast and expert technical staff combine in presenting a theatrical attraction completely justifying the princely investment of $3,900,000. |

| PopMattersBill GibronGone with the Wind is still dated, but it's a dynamite kind of antiquity. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThe older it gets, and we with it, the more we're able to see in it. As few American films have, Gone With the Wind succeeds both as historical epic and as intimate drama. |
