Gone with the Wind (Four-Disc Collector's Edition) 1939

This is definitely a great movie classic, of course, and will have an honored place in the DVD library. Recommend for everyone to see.

This movie was great over 60 years ago and is just as awesome to this day. Some of the 'special effects' of Gone With The Wind may pale in comparison to our computer and digitally enhanced graphics now, but are still worth watching and experiencing nonetheless.

After 691 reviews (as of 03/06/08) what possibly is left to be said about the '41 Civil War period piece / romance epic `Gone with the Wind'? A film way ahead of its time, this winner of 10 Academy Awards excelled in every conceivable category; cinematography, color, costumes, soundtrack, storyline, direction and acting. Who could ever forget the likes of; Clark Gable, Vivian Leigh, Olivia de Havilland and Leslie Howard along with an unforgettable cast with names you may not remember but faces you will never forget.

When you think of the true cinematic classics, the real -5 Star- films that consistently appear in the top ten lists of professional critics and the everyday movie buff alike, the masterpiece `Gone with the Wind' is a perpetual inclusion.

One of the essentials: -5 Stars-.

Calling this the best movie ever made is not plain hype and in my opinion this movie easily falls within the top 5 movies ever. As a measure of just how good this is, despite it being very close to 70 years old and despite it being almost 4 hours long, I found myself thoroughly enjoying this from start to finish without ever being conscious of the time except when I had to flip the disc over at the intermission. I was captivated by the backgrounds, the sets, the costumes and especially of the very, very good acting by all the cast which seems to be a lost art these days.

The video quality was also very impressive given the very well done digital remastering that they did on it as well as on the sound which comes in both the original mono and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround. I can only wonder what the Blu-Ray version would be like! There are no real special features to speak about except for the thearetical trailers though but I guess as far as one disc restored and remastered versions go, this is a very good dvd.

This movie deserved every one of its 10 Oscars and so long as the cream keeps on rising to the top, this film will remain a classic to be enjoyed for many, many more years to come.

Highly recommended!
