Gone with the Wind -- I kind of liked it. A lot of very funny stuff in there and in terms of over-long melodramatic historical movies, this is certainly best-of-breed. Weirdly fun for me.

Haven't seen any of these others; will add High Noon to Netflix. I prefer watching foreign movies to old Hollywood movies. I totally think Casablanca is overrated!
