That's a veritable list of some of the best movies in the history of American cinema. I would humbly suggest rectifying this error by watching the three bolded movies. Gone With the Wind is gamey, but if you're down with It's a Wonderful Life you should have no problem staying engaged (it took me 3-4 months to read Margaret Mitchell's original work, which as with most movies, ruined the cinematic adaptation). I don’t think It’s a Wonderful Life deserved that. We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch.

Similar to GWTW IMO in the sense that it's as much about the (at times lengthy-feeling) journey as it is the destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but Scarlett sucks. George Bailey kicks ass. Her comeuppance is good to watch once. Everyone coming to George’s rescue never gets old. We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch.

Everyone coming to George’s rescue never gets old. Scarlett's journey is a microcosm of the shfit in the cultural landscape of the antebellum South. It is without equal in this regard. Read Margaret Mitchell's work and get back to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Citizen Kane in my college history of the cinema class. At the time, I thought it was the most overrated movie ever. But having seen it for a second time a couple months ago on TCM, . . . I still thought it was the most overrated movie ever. Rosebud my ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If entertainment is what you're after they don't get much better. When things get back to normal make sure to look up your local symphony when they do a movie night. Before everything got shut down my wife took me to see Raiders of the Lost Ark in Concert hosted by the Visalia Symphony Orchestra for a date night. It was awesome to sit in our historic Fox Theater and watch Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark with a full orchestra playing the soundtrack in the background.
