Every Sequel To Best Picture Oscar Winners - Ranked

10. Scarlett

Pitting Scarlet against the other films on this list is a trifle unfair, since Gone With the Wind's belated follow-up is a six-part TV feature and the rest are blockbuster sequels, but the CBS miniseries didn't exactly set the small screen alight.

After the original swept the Academy Awards in 1939, MGM asked Margaret Mitchell, who penned the novel it was based on, to provide a script for a big-budget sequel, only to have their offer declined. It wasn't until more than two decades after the author's death that her estate gave the go-ahead for a continuation of the story.

By this point, MGM was no longer interested in making Gone With the Wind 2, so a sequel didn't arrive until 1994 when Scarlet hit television, with Joanne Whalley and Timothy Dalton stepping into the roles made famous by Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable.

The only thing Scarlet will ever be remembered for is the film it's a sequel to. That, and Dalton's rather striking moustache.
