2) Gone With the Wind- I watch this movie every year. It is a classic. It follows Scarlett O'Hera as she learns that everything is not about her. She went after every man she sees until Rhett Butler walks into her life. It is a love story that doesn't have a happy ending. It is a very long movie also.

This is a classic movie. I also watch this one when it comes on.
