No problem Lew. I am curious though, why do you NOT consider "Gone With the Wind" a classic? I don't really think that anyone can in his lifetime really see all the "classics." None of us have that much time. You are right about informed opinions. I have had many a conversations with some members of the 20 something generation who absolutely claim to be movie buffs, affectionados, etc., but they abhorr any movie shot in black and white. They can tell you who the cinematographer was on the "Star Wars" movies, but have never even tried to watch anything considered "classic" by anyone's standards. Heck, I even had one of the aforementioned 20 somethings squeal with delight when she watched the colorized version of Howard Hawkes "The Thing" saying how she would have never watched it in black and white.
