I'd never want a remake of GWTW to be done. There will never be another Clark Gable.

@Catty2: Agreed... or another Vivien Leigh.

Vanessa Hudgens and Channing Tatum. Mary J. Blige and Lonnie Love.

Absolutely love this movie, and would never want to see this classic remade. However, I could easily picture Delta Burke, and Tom Selleck in the lead roles.

Agree with your choices! Also a remake just wouldn't work for me either. Just a stupid quetion to break the boredom of Xmas topics.

Whether it's a wonderful old-time movie, television show, or a classic rock song-- whenever they do a re-make, it never comes close to the original, IMO.

i can think of one off of the top of my head......the movie CAPE FEAR. i bet others can think of some good remakes........i also have loved numerous versions of A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

No remake. There was a mystery to Hollywood in the '30's that could never be replicated in any possible way.

Also, there are aspects of the story that would be truly inappropriate to replicate.

Appreciate it for what it was and allow it to remain a piece of cinematographic history, unique as entertainment and as a study piece.

Agreed. They could not make the same film, with the same script, today. They couldn't film Margaret Mitchell's GWTW today. It would be called GWTW but it wouldn't BE GWTW.

Yes, appreciate it for what it was - a piece from its own time and place, depicting how things were 70 years previously from the POV of almost 80 years ago. Most people believe differently, and see things differently 150+ years later, but when the book was written the memories of how that time and place had been were still in memory of living people, and Mitchell's book reflected that.

It's like the revulsion heaped upon Tom Sawyer - people who have little or no concept that the world can change drastically, but the way it was in the past is just that - the way it was in the *past*, with literature written at the time a reflection of that.

A remake would be a travesty, it's scary to even think about how it would be cast today.

There have prequels and sequels and they are ALL AWFUL:

Rhett Butler's People by Donald McCaig

Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley

Ruth's Journey by Donald McCaig---about Mammy...

Leave classics alone. The originals are seldom done any better!

I hated that movie, and I hope they don't remake it !
Aren't you glad that it's a movie you never have to watch again. Me, I might watch it more than two or three times a year.

I'm from Atlanta and it's right up my movie alley. I sat on my Dad's shoulders and watched the parade and frestivities at the premier. It was one of the highlights of my young life. The stars were close enough to touch and there was so much elegance. Such a memory!

Wow, lucky you. Something you'll never forget, I'm sure. I saw ''The Making of GWTW" and they showed the parade-you might have been in it!
