TPM is #3 on the all time box office records, behind Titanic and ANH.

Inflation adjusted, Gone with the Wind beats them all, of course.
It also had lots of speed records, but Potter broke them (though long-term Potter is doing less well), and now we have LOTR coming... tricky.
Remember, though, that TPM's speed records were all the more impressive because GL limited the amount of cinemas it was released at.
Yes, a much better investment of time
But just for you I'll give you a synopsis of Gone with the Wind:
1. Scarlet marries about 3 diff guys....one killed in civil war...one killed aft civil war...and one tells her...he doesn't give a **** and leaves.
2. she has a daughter with Ret who breaks her neck riding a horse
3. Scarlet loves Ashley but he marries Melonie....
4. Her father goes insane.
5. It's a regular soap opera ...only 4 hrs long....and very drawn out. A good experience...everybody should spend 4 hours of their life watching GWTW.
ok....def not my fav 🙄
