The Wizard of Oz 1939

How can you not like this film? It is the classic musical! Grew up watching this as it's my mum's favourite musical. Very colourful and so ahead of it's time, you forget that it was made so early. Amazing effects for the 30's. The casting was perfect and Judy Garland is a doll! It will go down in history for being one of the best movies and hopefully will never be forgotten.

If you ever only watch one old movie, this should be it. The switch from black and white to color, the characters, the music, the actors, it's all so well done. And this is one of Judy Garland's most memorable performances. It's fun and exciting and the music will have you singing and dancing along.

The only good thing was the tornado. Oh and Toto. The munchkins are annoying as shit!

Pure magic. The quintessential Hollywood picture, the ultimate dream factory. Not sure I've seen this since I was a kid, but it was a joy to watch as I near 40. I think the shot of Dorothy opening the door to Oz is absolutely breathtaking, and is maybe my favorite shot of all-time?

It’s fun and I get why this is considered a classic, but it falls a bit short by todays standards. Which is not this movie’s fault. The ending was too stretched out, I liked the beginning a bit more. Most of the songs are nice, not all tho.

Nearing a full century, The Wizard of Oz defines the word timeless. Every time I come back to this movie, I'm flabbergasted at how well it holds up. Thinking back, this was the movie that may have broke my aversion to black and white movies and television that frequently occupied our TV in my youth. I still would begrudgingly wait for her to step through the door into the colorful world of Oz. Even then I knew that it was that contrast between the two worlds that made it so special when we did arrive to Oz and upon our return to black and white Kansas there wasn't any of that vitriol for the monochrome world. I suppose that if you don't like musicals, the movie likely won't agree with you. Otherwise if you've never watched or you haven't since you were young, give 'The Mighty Miracle Show of 100 Delights!' a whirl.

While this is not one I will :asterisk_symbol:still:asterisk_symbol: turn on casually, it’s undeniable how well this has held up nearly a century later, how influential it has been, and how great the filmmaking is here. It’s been years since I have seen this, but I am glad to have circled back! Everyone should check out this movie at least once in their life and I’m curious for how long this one is able to stay relevant!

Rating: 4.5/5 - 9/10 - Highly Recommend

The Wizard Of Oz understandably has a special place in the hearts of those who grew up watching it. Unfortunately, I didn't. It is a beautiful story, and Judy Garland is magnificent, but it didn't quite live up to the hype perpetuated by the baby boomer generation.

“There’s no place like home.” The Wizard of Oz is a fantastic film that has warmed the hearts of millions of people the world over. When a young farm girl named Dorothy Gale is whisked into the sky by a tornado she ends up in a magical land, and must seek out the Wizard of Oz to send her home. This adaption of L. Frank Baum’s beloved modern fairytale is a whimsical musical full of charming and magical songs; such as the unforgettable classic “Over the Rainbow.” And, the story’s themes of friendship and family have made it an enduring cinematic treasure that has become part of the culture. A classic family film, The Wizard of Oz takes its audience to a wondrous place where dreams really do come true.

The newest sensation in my household, my three year old grandson is totally addicted to this movie.

It won't be everyone's cup of tea, but, this film is beautiful. And while it may technically be for children, the themes are eternal: friendship, believing in yourself and the notion that the grass is not always greener. This film has great acting, timeless songs, and if anything you should watch it just so you can say you have. The American Fairy Tale.

"Not magical nor timeless. One of the most overrated film ever."

I understand this is a great movie for the time it was realized but I stopped watching after half a hour, was super bored and couldn't watch more one hour of it... I guess this movie it's not for my generation , but I really enjoyed Nosferatu 1922 movie and is older than this. So I'm not gonna review it and going to skip it. Maybe it's an over rated movie because was probably the fist movie that people watched in color? idk

Judy Garland gives a great performance. The songs are all pretty good. The set are unique, colorful and bright. The story has a nice message. It is really silly. There are flying monkeys. It's iconic and a classic for a reason.
