The Wizard Of OZ

Galvatron

Spock and Galvatron < one and the same
This film is a great test of time....my 5 year old daughter as just been given it and wow....she just watches it over and over......every time she finds some thing new to talk about and smiles all the way through.

I do hope they never try a re-make.
 
I love the original Wizard of Oz but there have been several remakes of the movie, in various forms, but none are of the same style. Recently the Sci-Fi channel had a 6 hour, 3 night remake in mini-series format that was a very modern rendition of the movie. If my memory serves me well there was an "african American" version of the the Wizard of Oz in the 1970's. Interestingly there were something like a dozen (or more) OZ stories that were written and the series continued by the author's son and grandson. Somewhere we have a couple autographed hardback editions of the stories stashed away.

But I'll admit that I still enjoy watching the original Wizard of Oz. Then again, I tend to like a lot of classic movies.
 
my son is a massive fan of Laural and Hardy and he tells me among his dvd collection he has the Wizard Of OZ starring Oliver Hardy(plays the tin man) which pre-dates the movie we all know and love(made in 1925)...new to me but im going to give it a watch later.

Bob,

Wasn't one of the re-makes the first color show made for TV. Didn't it start out in Black and White and then switch to color part way through it?

Yes. When the house landed in Munchkin land it went from Dreary Kansas to colorful Munchkin land :glare:
 
The Judy Garland version started as black&white with hand-painted frames and then switched to color film. When it was first aired on TV, the hand-painted frames didn't transfer well and appeared either as black&white again or closer to sepia.
 
That movie scared the crap out of me when I was a little kid. Flying monkies and a green witch.

Bob the American African version was "The Wiz" and Michael Jackson was it it.
