Gone With The Wind I just watched it with my 16 year old, it's her favorite movie and in all my 41 years have not seen it till now. I really could'nt get into it, it was o.k. I guess. Did you like it when you seen it?

I do like this movie. I have not seen it since I was a teen though. I just don't have the time now to sit through the whole thing since I have kids.

I've seen the movie and read the book a long time ago. It's considered a classic, a beautiful, epic movie, starring Vivian Leigh and Clark Gable. Margaret Mitchell, who wrote the novel, won a Pulitzer Prize for its realistic depiction of the US Civil War. Interesting enough its the only novel she ever wrote. I enjoyed the movie when I saw it, but I wonder if people used to modern movies, would feel the same way about it. I enjoyed Scarlett O'Hara and her adventures, her struggles and her thriumphs. Rhett Butler is pretty dashing. I still wish I could change the ending even until today. What gave me hope that there might be a happy ending with the lovers is Scarlett's saying "After all, tomorrow is another day." It also gained notoriety because of the use of the word "damn" in the movie. But I think the Rhett's last line to Scarlett, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!" will not have the same effect without that expletive.

My daughter is in love with Rhett Butler. I found a first print edition of Gone With The Wind on e bay and gave it to my daughter for Christmas. She also has a soft cover book,and the sequal to Gone with the wind, the movie on VHS and DVD, a calender and posters, a purse and a deck of cards. She's really in love with this movie.

I have seen this and it is a good movie but it is not one of my favorites. It's an ok one to me. It has some very good parts to it but other areas of it just seem to drag to me. I think part of it doesn't help is I heard for so long how great the movie was and then when I finally did get to watch it all it wasn't what I thought it would be. That can be a problem when people keep going on and on about a movie, you get to see it and you are all hyped up only to be let down.

Oh yes, I have seen it many times over and over. I used to love it but I dont seem to care much for it anymore. I guess I just watched it too much and got burned out on it.

It was too long. I liked it for about 2 hours and then I couldn't stand it. It was a classic but I would never watch it again because it was too long.

I've seen it a couple of times, once on TV and once on the big screen. It's really a sight to see at a movie theater. It's a good movie but not one of my favorites.

Yes I liked it. It is an epic. I love epics. Although I not a Clark Gable fan, I did like Vivian Leigh.

I have seen it a few times , I find it to be o.k. not one of my favorites I find it to be way to long and drawn out. I do not like the ending at all.

Oh yes,I have seen Gone with the Wind.i haven't seen it in a long time though. it's too long for me to sit through.I really admired Scarlet in some ways.She has literally everything taken away from her but she didn't give up,she sctatched and clawed herself right back up with much sacrifice on her part.
