Review of The Wizard of Oz (1939) by Calvin C — 21 Sep 2013

Oh, to be alive in 1939 and see it on the big screen. To see it on an IMAX screen is not so much to see it in 3D, but a chance to see it on any screen besides a television set. I have seen this film countless times on cable, but I was overwhelmed when the credits started rolling. Almost 75 years later, the film is beautifully restored and I felt like a kid again. The story, characters, and music are timeless and it is a film that will and should be passed down from generation to generation. What a treat to experience this in a dark theater full of people with the same love and affection. This film will never get old and as long as I keep watching it, neither will I.

Grade: A+.
