It's time to flash "The End" on this part of my three-part look at movies. Coming up: movies I wish I hadn't seen, and movies "everybody" saw, including me. As for today, I end with what may be the biggest surprise, which is why it's "ranked," such as it is, at #1.
#1: Gone With the Wind
PLOT: South loses war, Scarlett loses Rhett. And frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. 
I think it takes less time to read the book than to sit through the movie. Yeah, I know the plot and all the lines. But, truth be told, I'd rather see "Went With the Wind" for four hours.
So sue me. Or as John Roberts said yesterday, take away my movie fandom card.
Whichever way you go, thanks for reading.
Gone With the Wind
Directed by Victor Fleming
Released in 1939
Here's Carol Burnett talking about "Went With the Wind," maybe the greatest moment in variety show sketch history:

I can't stand this movie. Or the book. I've seen and read both.

@JohnRoberts Why? It's boring. The whole story was boring. The movie was too long.

It's a classic! One of the greatest Hollywood movies ever made.

I just watched that again. It was on TCM about a week and a half ago.

Even thinking about that scene makes me smile. What a classic.
Hope you’re doing well this lovely morning.

I reject you totally. This is like someone who has never listened to Hank Williams.

Is it any wonder I reject you first? Gone. With. The. Wind. (To the tune of "Fame.")

That movie was SOOOOO long but we had no choice but to have to see it. I think it was maybe in 9th grade that we had to watch this in class . . . took several afternoons to see it all (so to us they were sort of like "episodes").

That Carol Burnett skit was laugh out loud funny.
Can't believe Gone With the Wind is on your list of never seen
