Our take on Gone with the Wind

The 1939 Hollywood colossus follows headstrong Scarlett O'Hara through the Civil War and its ruinous aftermath, and her stormy romance with the roguish Rhett Butler. Sweeping, lavish and undeniably of its troubled era, it remains a landmark of the grand studio epic. If its scale and tempestuous romance gripped you, seek out classic historical epics and big-canvas melodramas of love and survival against a backdrop of upheaval.
