Gone With The Wind and Inferno?
I like you!

Really? 😉 honestly I liked GWTW a LOT more the other one
LikeLike
Me too.
Personally, I felt Inferno was overwhelmingly detailed about Dante’s work. Akin to a history lesson.
GWTW is a love story and so much more. Which girl has not swooned and dreamt of her own Rhett Butler after all?

My thoughts exactly and GWTW is more enjoyable when you see the movie after reading the book. Loved the movie too. One of the rare times when a book matches the movie in its appeal

Yes.
Unfortunately these times are very rare.
I fail to understand just how difficult is it to show what has been written without adding unnecessary gimmicks!
Another movie and book combo i loved was Angels And Demons.
