One of my favorite movies!

Rating: 10/10 (12 March 2014)

I absolutely love the wizard of oz! Such a fantastic story with a great message and strongly developed characters that really touch your heart. The cinematography is great, I enjoy seeing this early use of effects such as when Glinda appears from the bubbles, the twister scene, and Oz himself. The costumes are a noteworthy aspect, with each one being so different and so detailed it deserves some praise. Somewhere over the rainbow is beautifully iconic as well as many other aspects of this film, spawning many years of tributes, remakes, spin offs, and parodies even. This movie has secured a huge part of American pop culture in the 20th century. It's got so much heart, and it was a huge step in the beginnings of fantasy as a genre. Definitely worth watching if you have never seen it.
