The Wizard of Oz (1939)

Second viewing (first one with original audio); previously viewed on or a little after December 29, 1984.

During a tornado, a farm girl appears to be transported to a magic world where she meets some strange characters and is faced with the problem of how to return home.

Musical fantasy which has a poor underlying text but makes up for it with lush visuals and nice musical numbers. It gets somewhat excruciating towards the end, mainly thanks to the annoying whining of the protagonist.

Rating: 53 (up from 50)
