<h2>Gone with the Wind (1939)</h2>
&#8220;Frankly, my dear, I don&#8217;t give a damn.&#8221; Gone with the Wind may have one of the most famous final lines in history, but there&#8217;s so much more to appreciate about it: its grand historical sweep that encompasses the American Civil War and its aftermath; the terrific performances of Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Olivia de Havilland and Hattie McDaniel; its beautiful colour cinematography (in filming the fire scene, the crew used all eight Technicolor cameras then in existence). At almost four hours in length, it has become the yardstick by which all American epics are measured.
