My favorite movie is "Gone With The Wind". When you first see Red Butter it melts my heart. Sorry for the spelling mistakes
JAMES LEWIS from CANADA said:
One of my favorite movies is "Groundhog Day". It's the story of Phil Connors (Bill Murray), a nihilistic TV weatherman, who inexplicably lives the same day over and over while covering Groundhog Day in Punxsatawney, Pennsylvania. Even suicide cannot remove the curse of reliving the same day, so Phil decides to make the best of his life, by learning to play the piano and finding out everything he can about his producer (Andy McDowell). Slowly, Phil is transformed from a shallow being to a man who is genuinely in love with life.
