30 years old, still love The Wizard of Oz

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2006)

As I type this, I am watching the brilliant Wizard of Oz on TV - probably for the 100th time! I haven't seen the movie for about 10 years, but I can tell you I am still almost word perfect. Every little musical note perfect too! The songs, the characters, the munchkins, the red shoes, the scenery switching early on from sepia to colour. So clever and so simplistic yet so beautiful and rare for todays movies where digital enhancing is the only way to arrange a movie. I find it completely amazing how this movie transports you in time to a place somewhere from your childhood dreams. It is as vivid and wonderful now as it was when I watched it when I was 5 years old. Gosh, 1939 was even before my parents time! This movie is a classic that hopefully my children can enjoy as well. Providing they can get past the likes of the Wiggles! Absolutey fabulous!
