3. Gone with the Wind
Gone with the Wind is among a small list of "beyond epic" films. It is amazing that a film created in 1939 could still have the same emotional force and beauty to beat out other epic contestants. It is a film that makes your heart flutter and gives you goosebumps with its well executed scenes and majestic film score. A romance-adventure-drama film that is set on the backdrop of the deep South during the Civil War and Reconstruction was done completely right and if it had been made any differently would have made the film a complete failure.
Set in the 19th-century American South, the film tells the story of Scarlett O'Harra, and her romantic pursuit of Ashley Wilkes, who is married to his cousin, Melanie Hamilton, and her marriage to Rhett Butler.
This film is worth living for one lone reason: scope. The film was made in a fashion that would capture the viewers' hearts at every scene; be it through panoramic screenshots of the landscape, a landmark scene of the setting sun over a destructed town, through heartwarming emotion, heart stopping action, or mesmerizing costumes. This film was made to please the eye and it definitely achieved its goal. But along with that, the creators made a film that told a beautiful story and the immensity of both these factors in one film created an amazing film. One must live on just to experience the film because without experiencing it, you are practically not human.
