The best fantasy ever made

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 1999)

I remember watching OZ on television at my great-grandmother's home in the very early 60s--maybe 62 or 63 (I was only 5 years old). Grandma had the only color TV in our family, so my Mom and Dad brought us kids to her house to watch it. Grandma (who was 43 when OZ premiered in '39) loved the film and wanted to share it with all her "children." Anyway, I've just bought my third VHS copy of the film--the most recent release. I'm so thrilled with how clear and clean the picture is--the sound, despite being touted as being "digitally remastered. . .in true stereo, is okay, but not as good as the picture. It's a true classic--and as I type this I realize that I am the same age now as my great-grandmother was when OZ was first released. Our grand-parents always know what's best for us, don't they? THE WIZARD OF OZ rules!!!
