We all know Gone With The Wind. Even if you haven't seen it, it's sheer level of pop culture presence is so widespread and ubiquitous that it's become something you know lines of dialogue and visuals from even if you haven't taken the plunge and watched the entire four-hour long movie. When you have a movie that's so incredibly popular and influential, the subject question inevitably comes up on whether or not it's actually any good. Was it an all-time classic or just a flash in the pan type deal that was only popular because of outside circumstances that boosted up an otherwise lackluster motion picture (see Twilight and American Sniper as examples of the latter day phenomenon).
