Absolutely hate Gone with the wind. While I admire the tech that was amazing for it's time, the movie was based on one of the few books that I feel should be banned/burned because it was so awful- poorly written, too long, awful characters, especially the main character, scarlet, scarletta, whatever her name is.

Current favorite movies are Coco and Encanto.
