One of the best movies of all time... and one of the few movies that is as good as the book. I first watched "Gone with the Wind" when I was about 13 years old. I have since rewatched it probably hundreds of times. As I get older I enjoy it more and more, and fall in love all over again with the characters.

As a girl of 13 I absolutely loved Scarlett O'Hara's rebellious nature; being a head strong girl myself I could identify with her. I loved her game, I loved how she handled not only the boys and men, but the girls and women around her too. She was the ultimate tease and she kept then men around her hopping. The perfect role model for my teenage self. But what made me really love her was that she was survivor, she did whatever was necessary to survive. I loved that she was smart and stronge, and fearless. I loved that she was independant enough to break all the rules, accept the consequences and still push forward to success. So as a girl I identified with Scarlett the rebel.

The as I got older I identified with Scarlett the woman. I personally think if I had a man like Rhett Butler chasing me I would have figured it out a little sooner, but like all women I too have wanted what I couldn't have and what wasn't good for me.

The final reason for my love for the movie is ... Rhett Butler! I ask myself why don't they make men like him anymore??? He is everything I woud love to have in a man. He is intelligent, tough, and passionate. He is kind and loyal to those he respects and loves. He has that bad boy charm. He is secure enough in his manhood to love a strong woman like Scarlett without thinking her strength diminishes his own. And he knows how...
