Gone with the Wind is naturally in Hayley's Top 5, for obvious reasons. As a daughter of the Confederacy, Scarlet embodies the intense bravado of today's woman with the frailty (and enviable ability to faint on command) of women from her time.
She's one of the most vibrant heroines in movie history. A gun-swinging, baby-delivering, goddess of hoop skirts, who could make a couture gown from velvet drapes. She didn't take shit from anyone and Rhett Butler adored her because of it. (Clark Gable! Come on people! What a stud...) I'll admit, I prefer her nonchalant, pre-war character and life (before times got tough and Ashley got married). But...
Who doesn't want to sit around, sipping sweet tea, being courted by a bunch of Southern boys from Charleston?
