The Wizard of Oz (1939)

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2014)

If you were to ask anybody, the likelihood of them telling you that they have never seen "The Wizard of Oz" is slim to none. As one of the most iconic films in American history, "The Wizard of Oz" is an enchanting film filled with laughter, music, and an intriguing story line that leaves you wanting to join Dorothy and the crew in the magical land of Oz.
Brilliantly made, the transition from black-and-white Kansas to the colorful land of Oz is a truly wonderful moment in the history of film. Nobody can forget the moment dashes of color began to fill the screen as everything came to life along the yellow brick road.
The characters in this film are somewhat iconic themselves, as everybody knows who the Tin Man (Jack Haley), the Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr), and the Scarecrow (Ray Bolger) are. They are, of course, some of the most memorable characters ever to skip across our screens.
The plot never ceases to amaze, no matter how many times you've seen the film. There is always something new, always something you missed, to pull you right back in just as it had so many times before.
As one of American History's most classic films, "The Wizard of Oz" (1939) is a film like no other of it's time. A marvelous cast and an electric plot, there is no doubt in my mind that this film should be at the top of everybody's lists of most beloved movies.
