The Wizard of Oz is about as classic as a movie that you can get. I have only met 2 people in my entire life who have not enjoyed this movie. The music in this movie is fantastic and every song is probably known worldwide. “Somewhere over the Rainbow” is one of the most over used songs in the history of over used songs. This is one of my favorite all time movies and will always be. Judy Garland plays the perfect Dorothy and it is a tragedy that she died so young. The sets in this movie are fantastic. Oz looks absolutely stunning and I can’t believe that it was made in 1939. For its time this movie was very advanced. A lot of people love the scarecrow and the lion but my favorite by far is the tin man. Every time she meets him and he sings “If I Only Had a Heart” I fall in love with the movie all over again. I really don’t have anything bad to say about this movie it’s flawless. The other character that I absolutely love is the Wicked Witch of the West. Margaret Hamilton plays such a convincing witch I almost feel scared of her watching the movie! Of course I have also read the book and it’s extremely different and both are amazing so I could see the movie and then read the book. Remember follow the yellow the brick road!
Real Teen Rating~ A+: If you haven’t seen this movie you are a deprived soul!
