This movie lays claim to the title of Most Watched Film in History. It didn't even recoup its production costs at its release, but the world eventually woke up and embraced all the charms of this movie. Friendship, family, bravery, search for Self, an archetypical villain and an otherworld soaked in Emerald green are the building blocks of this classic. Who doesn't recall that breathtaking moment when Dorothy's sepia toned world becomes Technicolor bright in Munchkinland? Or that feeling of bittersweet relief when she leaves her loyal friends, Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion to return Home with three clicks of her ruby slippers. This movie will be enjoyed for many, many more years to come.
