That's the interesting of this world. So many people, so many opinions. I love GWTW, I love Scarlett, I loved the movie, I adore the book. I even love the "Making of" included in the dvd special edition.

And I still fall asleep with Matrix, and never liked Harry Potter. Lord of the rings.. was ok.

And I, on the other hand, have learned that I'm extremely easy to please! Love GWTW, LOTR, the original Star Wars movies, like the Harry Potter movies (the books are so much better), and enjoyed the Matrix trilogy although I don't have any desire to watch them again.

I tend to enjoy most films though

Totally with you on The English Patient. So boring it made me want to look around for something sharp to stick in my ear just to liven things up a bit.

Of course I like this one too, and even if you don't, you cannot deny Ralph Fiennes was looking might fine (ha!) in this one.

a war just burned down her entire state and impoverished everybody and their dog including her. Sorry, but she
should have figured that out by the end of the first reel. "As God is my witness I'll never be hungry again," rah-rah-rah
we get it, now get out in the field and work to repair your state like every single one of your neighbors already is. Sorry
to any fans, but I just simply don't get this movie.

Yeah Scarlet was pretty thick. I found her SO annoying.

I can't remember if he was attractive or not - I think I blocked most of the film from my memory. Ralph Fiennes is generally good to look at, though, so I won't argue. ;-)

I actually prefer the book Scarlett to the movie Scarlett. I think the book did a better job of giving us her internal motivations, as it were, for behaving the way she did, so her actions are easier to understand.

But I love Scarlett's dresses in the movie. I want a dress big enough to knock people over. I would wear it to the grocery store.

It's been so long since I read it but I vaguely remember understanding her better in the book as well. Ditto on the clothing, I got a Scarlett Barbie with the green dress which I loved (as an adult, haha).
