About this movie

"There's no place like home..." Entirely remastered, the colorful characters and unforgettable songs of Oz come alive as never before. This magical cinematic event finds Kansas farm girl Judy Garland ("A Star is Born," "Meet Me in St. Louis") caught in a tornado and magically transported to the Land of Oz. Needing help to return home, she is told to follow the Yellow Brick Road and find the powerful Wizard (Frank Morgan). On her perilous journey, she is befriended by the Scarecrow (Ray Bolger), the Tin Man (Jack Haley), and the Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr) who help her battle the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton) and her flying monkeys. Based on the classic book by Frank L. Baum, "The Wizard of Oz" is a dazzling motion picture achievement, featuring unforgettable songs (including Oscar-winner "Over the Rainbow"), scenery, and costumes. The film had 5 Academy Award nominations, and Garland was awarded a special Oscar for her outstanding performance.

An old and truncated movie with a dead body on set and a star who suffered drug abuse and addiction BECAUSE of the way the creators of this "movie" treated her. Wooden acting, a bad script and terrible effects. Do not watch.

One of the greatest films off all time. Having watching this as a child I sat my own 6yr old down to watch it. Mesmerised from the beginning until the end. She really enjoyed it. We have watched it again since, and I can see this being a favourite of hers too. If you're feeling blue or needing a pick me up - this 'feel good' classic is what you need!
