The Greatest Films Ever Made

How could you not get swept away by this gorgeous epic- not to mention the suave Clark Gable as Rhett Butler. At a running time of approximately 5 hours, it still isn't long enough!!

I have seen this film over 30 times, and it still makes me laugh. The music and dancing by Donald O'Connor, Debbie Reynolds, and the late Gene Kelly (I am still in mourning) are pure magic.

This, in my opinion, is the greatest film ever to emerge from the Disney Studios. This was Julie Andrews' only Disney film, yet she has been inducted into Disney's Hall of Fame. How could you not love this film, guv'nor?

Sure, we've all seen it a zillion times. But to me, each time is magical. Judy Garland's and Ray Bolger's (the Scarecrow) performances are no less than amazing. While in the 1990s, we take these seemingly primitive special effects for granted, in its day, this movie was no less than stunning.

Although critics blasted this beautiful film as "Capra-corn," there is a simple elegance to the movie's message. I can watch this film endlessly, and before NBC recently bought the rights, I would watch this film as many times as possible on TV. When I watch contemporary movies, it saddens me that films which celebrate the human spirit without sliding into schmaltz or religiosity are no longer made.
