Definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. Scarlett is one of the greatest female characters ever created, and Vivien Leigh was incredible in the role. Scarlett was such a bitch, but if she wasn't, they would have lost Tara and starved to death. And who else could have loved such a woman, except for Rhett, that seemingly simple yet so complex man?

Gerald, Aunt Pittypat, Prissy, Mammy, Melanie - the film is so brilliantly casted and performed (with the exception of the puzzling English accent on the Southern-born Ashley Wilkes).

Who can forget that great moment when Scarlett wants to visit Melanie in Atlanta, and Mammy tells her that she knows that the only reason that Scarlett wants to go to Atlanta is because Ashley will be coming home on leave and that Scarlett will be "waiting for him, just like a spider!" She hisses that last bit with such perfect delivery, no wonder they gave Ms. McDaniel an Oscar.

I could watch GWTW over and over, just to see Scarlett at Ashley's party in that red dress.
