the one film, for me, that delivers all film promised. It could take us to another place, be equally loved by kids and parents, beautiful to look at, great music. When I am on my death bed, I will remember watching this film with my kids many times, and watching it as a kid with my parents. It is probably the one film that ties generations together. Really, what is more important?
Follow Ups:
I have such great memories of watching this movie each year when it was on TV (back in the days of 13 channels!). My kids and I have watched it many times as well. I never read the books as a child, but I read all of the L. Frank Baum books to my kids. It is amazing to see the differences between the movie and the first book. I don't think it takes away from the movie at all! The movie was classic Hollywood extravaganza, with creative sets, costume design, music, comedy, and drama along with an incredibly insightful application of black and white and color cinematography.
I love the movies that others have listed and could probably list a hundred more that I cherish, but this movie is in its own category, reaching out across time and generations with its message of family values and community, including good souls of all types (and species!)
I was tempted, before I submitted W of Oz as my choice, to put Wall*E, which has had a similar effect on me. Perhaps in 70 or 80 years Wall*E might earn its place in Oz!
Best wishes for the holidays!
