A classic film for people of all ages to see

Rating: Null/10 (10 October 2013)

I recently watched The Wizard of Oz again after not seeing it for a while. It is interesting to see how a movie made back then is still appealing to so many people, and as an adult (I was introduced to the movie as a kid) I can see how some songs like "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" are still recognized by many people, if not as well-known as before. It is also quite common for the movie to be featured in trivia, and when watching it again I noticed how it's made an impact on our culture (I've heard the expression "you won't melt" before, there's a small street named "Yellow Brick Road" in my town). The Wizard of Oz is showing its age (you can tell everything is painted, special effects we're used to seeing in newer movies weren't invented yet, and the entertainment style is old-fashioned). I've noticed a drop in the number of people who know this movie and some of our other classics like The Sound of Music (a movie made during the 1960's that has a story set during the late 1930's), but unlike other 70+ year old movies it hasn't been forgotten.
