Prime example of movie magic.

Rating: 10/10 (26 August 2019)

The Wizard of Oz is one of those movies whose appeal to all ages hasn't withered away with time. The beautiful set-pieces, the loveable characters and their journey through the magical world of Oz is still as immersive and captivating as ever.
Both our main character, Dorothy, and her wonderful friends in Oz are so brilliantly acted that you might call them the definitive version of their respective character. This may be a part of the reason why every attempt at a sequel or a re-imagining of the story either fails or gets a lukewarm reception, because with this movie held in such high praise, you have a lot to live up to.
But I am one of the people who will defend the underrated Return to Oz (1985). Check it out if you haven't, because even though its tone is far darker it also did a magnificent job in the special effects department just like this timeless masterpiece.
