It is still talked about close to a century later, and the famous quote at the end by Rhett Butler: "Franky, Scarlett, I don't give a damn" has endured.

Over the years, many have tried to copy the style, and many have succeeded, but it started with Gone With The Wind.

Looking at the choices, it's so true that entertainment is personal and subjective.
