A great series of book but most remembered as the 1939 film. Its one of the most cherish movies. Back in the 40s, grown ups would watch the movie just to get their minds of the war.
The Wizard of Oz has music, color and no color, munshkins, Good Witch, bad witch, and s crazy characters, A scarecrow with no brains, A Tin Man with no heart, and a Lion with no courage. A Wizard who can grant their wishes if a task is complete, and a rememberable line "There's no place like home". Cause home kicks ass.
