Always makes me smile

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2006)

The Wizard of Oz is a wonderful film. Watching it on the big screen is truly adds a lot to the film -expecially in Kansas. I watched fellow Kansans smile, cry, and laugh. Dorothy Gale is a Kansas farm girl and pretty tough. I wonder about the Cowardly Lion. He seems a little funny. The monkeys are scary. Yet it all comes back to Kansas. I think about times I've traveled and the flight attendant will say "click your heels three times, you're back in Kansas." Every time it makes me smile. To know that Kansas is known for something that is so special to so many people is very gratifying. Gee, it makes me feel sorry for states like New Jersey that lack the sort of identity that Kansas has. Clerks and Jersey Girl are fine yet Oz is clearly in a whole other category. Truly a classic and one of my favourites.
10 out of 10 stars
