The greatest movie of all time

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2006)

Almost all 6.5 billion people in the world have heard of this film. Where a young girl and her dog are transported into a fantastical, magical land of munchkins and fairies and... The Wicked Witch of The West.
I am no fan of this film, but it must be said that this film is far greater than any film: even the Godfather. Why it is not #1 on the top 250 list I will never know.
This motion picture is a family/fantasy/musical with a little mini-thriller for the little ones. Judy Garland plays the poor, beloved Dorothy, who just wants to make sure her dog isn't killed. In despair with her family and life around her, she leaves her family with her dog Toto and a picnic basket.
But as she returns home, a whirlwind comes and transports her into the lovely land of Oz. And so the adventure begins. Accompanied by a scarecrow who wants a brain, a tinman who wants a heart, and a lion who wants courage, the four follow the yellow brick road that has been presented to them, trying to avoid the schemes of The Wicked Witch and her devious army of flying monkeys.
But all hope is lost when she must take the broomstick for the Witch in order to go back home. They make a daring move to capture the Witch, an in the end, they do! The acting is done well, the music is great for kids, and the fact that it is in color 95% percent of the film shows that movie-making has been taken to the next level. Even though it is almost 70 years old, it's age doesn't show anywhere. Not even a wrinkle.
