What can I say?

Rating: Null/10 (21 August 2000)

Everything I like about this movie has already been mentioned by everyone else, so please don't get mad at me if I repeat something. This is one of my absolute favorite movies of all time. I didn't see it consciously until I was about nine or ten, but it hooked me right away. I absolutely love watching this movie about the fantastic world of Oz, which was enriched by reading the book afterward. I do understand why the book had to be abridged for the movie as it would have all been too long to put in there, but it would have been nice to see the Quadlings and the Town of China People in it. Well, I also love the music, which I used to have memorized. Judy Garland was an especially good singer and actress, and every time I sing "Over the Rainbow" to myself or others, I find myself copying her. My personal favorite was, of course, Bert Lahr as the Cowardly Lion (I can still say the "Put 'em up, put 'em up" scene by heart). All in all, it is one for the ages.
