PS - the book received good reviews but so did GWTW - they're about equal. But the films- no comparison. This movie meanders all over the place, and the Civil War scenes are paltry. Reviews are terrible for this film...probably too harsh. Personally I do enjoy it but only because of Monty and Elizabeth, for it is no GWTW! And when I watch I can't help but compare in my mind.
I don't think GWTW is regarded as fluff, to be fair. And the book certainly isn't. I enjoyed both very much and would say the book is the apotheosis (for good or bad) of the myth of the Old South in literature. Plus, the book's presentation of Scarlett O'Hara was daring for its day and genre. Raintree County, you're right, as a bookis regarded as anti-fluff. :)
@pluslotion Not entitled to my opinion you commie? I do in fact know that GWTW is regarded as fluff while the BOOK mind you of Raintree County is NOT! It puts the lotion in the basket.....
@marekerhardt Sorry but Raintree County is a poor man's GWTW!!! It was not highly regarded, and although I love it because of Liz and Monty, it can't hold a candle to GWTW, which is one of the great movies of all time.
Dear god...this feels like one of the longest movies ever made, when you watch it.

I almost forgot this movie of elizabeth taylor but it was a great one. Even though my favorites were Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, and GIANT.

I am so deeply sorry to hear of Elizabeth's passing today. My condolences to her family, freinds and loved ones. She was quite the gal.
