Do you still enjoy wathcing the Wizard of Oz?

[Quixfire]

I sat down with both with my daughters, 5 & 3, and watched the Wizard of OZ with them this weekend. It's hard to believe after all these years and the numerous times I have watched it I still enjoy the movie.

I admit the book was much better.

 

[Juice Box]

watch it while listening to "dark side of the moon"

 

Yes.

 

[RaDragon]

Honestly, I haven't seen it in one sitting. I've only seen parts of it! >.<

 

[Wallydraigle]

Yeah, but if it was on right now I probably wouldn't watch it.

 

[Modeps]

I like it, but there are better movies to watch over and over...

 

[jjones]

One of my favorite movies.

 

[FleshLight]

After watching it a few times, I realized it was a political allegory to the great depression.

 

[KoolDrew]

No.

 

[mcvickj]

No idea. I've never watched it.

 

[quakefiend420]

i think the only time i've ever watched it was with dark side...

 

[episodic]

no

 

[raildogg]

I saw it about 7 years ago.

Did you know that in the movie you could actually see one of the midgets commiting suicide?

No, it's not
Yes, it can be interpeted that way, but many things can be interpreted in different ways.

Yeah, but that would probably also make a plain white wall in your house just as interesting.

 

[moshquerade]

yep, i love that movie

case in point:

Scarecrow: "That's the trouble. I can't make up my mind.
I haven't got a brain...only straw."


Dorothy: "Well, how can you talk, if you haven't got a brain?"


Scarecrow: "I don't know. But some people without brains do
an awful lot of talking, don't they?"


Dorothy: "Yes, I guess you're right."

 

[knoxweather]

Snopes Says FALSE

-------------------------------------

Status: False.

Origins: The so-called "munchkin suicide" scene occurs at the very end of the Tin Woodsman sequence, as Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodsman head down the road on their way to the Emerald City. This sequence begins with If they only had a brain! Dorothy and the Scarecrow trying to pick fruit from the talking apple trees, encompasses their discovery of the rusted tin man and their encounter with the Wicked Witch of the West (who tries to set the Scarecrow on fire), and ends with the trio heading off to Oz in search of the Wizard. To give the indoor set used in this sequence a more "outdoors" feel, several birds of various sizes were borrowed from the Los Angeles Zoo and allowed to roam the set. (A peacock, for example, can be seen wandering around just outside the Tin Woodsman's shack while Dorothy and the Scarecrow attempt to revive him with oil.) At the very end of this sequence, as the three main characters move down the road and away from the camera, one of the larger birds (often said to be an emu, but more probably a crane) standing at the back of the set moves around and spreads its wings. No munchkin, no hanging -- just a big bird.
