It's James Dean's last movie, making it automatically EPIC. But oh, how much do I love this story? A love triangle spanning 25 years? empressearwig, lapiccolina, it's like the blue print for LK's Texas trilogy, no?
GONE WITH THE WIND
Is there anything in the world to say about Scarlett and Rhett that hasn't been said? Truth be told, I prefer Book!Scarlett and Rhett, and don't really think Clark Gable ever fit as Rhett (sacrilege!), but even so. EPIC.
I know, this isn't a category, but I have to say this one.
