THE Original Fantasy Film

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 1999)

A beautiful masterpiece starring the magnificent Judy Garland as young Dorothy Gale is what "The Wizard of Oz" is, and when I saw this movie as a child, I watched it over and over again, and became a big Judy Garland fan. Judy has a sweet, powerful, golden voice which can echo in the dark and become so unforgettable, and Judy was so ahead of her time during her career. I think it's wonderful that her daughter, Liza Minnelli, who I also adore, carries on her mother's legacy. Liza, too, has an unforgettable voice as well, very brassy, cool, and sexy -- this woman can sing -- her voice is like a kiss! Like mother like daughter!
"The Wizard of Oz", however, isn't like any movie that there was back then. It was all life like with the magical land of Oz, the creative imagination that is put into this film is unbelieveable...it just takes your breath away!
Sometimes I wonder what this film would be like if it was released today in this year or if it was remade with another cast. Who would play Dorothy Gale? Everyone knows that no one can ever top Judy's performance of Dorothy Gale. Judy's an original. The cast is original. This film is original. One of the greatest movies of the 20th century!!!!!!
