Gone With The Wind (PG)

Plot
Scarlett O'Hara is young, beautiful and vivacious. She's besotted with Ashey, who is set to marry Scalett's dull cousin. When at a party she finally pleads for Ashey to marry her, Miss O'Hara doesn't realise there's someone else in the room - Rhett Butler.

Verdict
Well, 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.
