    If you have never seen a favorite old classic on the big screen you must treat yourself! The Wizard Of Oz was so wonderful and felt like I was seeing it for the first time. You see so much more on the big screen and the movie takes on a whole new look. LOVED IT!!

    A classic is a classic. Need I say anymore? I am amazed at how a movie from 1939 holds up against and in many ways surpasses the movies of today ... with innocence. Family movies then didn't have to rely on bathroom humour, witty one liners, fast paced over the top action stunts, or video game antics. This movie is just a good movie all by itself. And you know what? The kids in the audience loved it.

    One of the best, but you know that already

    Honestly, why do you need a review to tell you to see The Wizard of Oz? It is universally regarded as one of the best films of all time. Just go see it... again.
