Gone With the Wind

Viewed in
2000

Premise
Film adaptation of the novel about a spoiled Southern lady during the Civil War.

Who should watch
Film buffs.

Thoughts
Just a must-see, awesome epic classic. Vivien Leigh was a tour-de-force as her character went through a vast arc. The famous shot of the rows and rows of wound soldiers took my breath away.

While I had heard 'Frankly darling, I don't give a damn' a gazillion times before, when I heard Clark Gable say in the film after what the characters went through, it just packed an incredible emotion punch.

What I would change
Nothing.

Premise
James Stewart stars as a naive man appointed to fill a vacancy in the US Senate. His plans promptly collide with political corruption, but he doesn't back down.

Thoughts
Don't remember much except some filibustering and inspirational political/morality moments. Sadly, I don't even remember if I liked it.

What I would change
