    Tell me how I walked out of Wicked today only to figure out at the end of the movie that it was about the wicked witch of the west from the Wizard of Oz. 😭

    my fundamental issue with Wicked is that the brilliance and power of the Wizard of Oz movie (1939) is that *Oz is not a real place* it is the dream of a young girl whose life is already a tragedy (parents dead) and is going nowhere fast (stuck in Kansas, town controlled by Gulch/Wicked Witch)

    Before you watch the film Wicked, first watch The Wizard of Oz, and remind yourself of how far we've fallen. I went to see the musical, and every single song could be beaten by that one about the Lollipop Guild.

    Three years after the iconic witches in THE WIZARD OF OZ ('39), another famous witch landed on the scene with Veronica Lake in I MARRIED A WITCH ('42). Years later, the film also became one of the main inspirations for the hit TV series, BEWITCHED ('64-72), which became a motion picture in 2005.

    “The Wizard of Oz” is a film that “shows us how the weakness of grownups forces children to take control of their own destinies, and so, ironically, grow up themselves,” Salman Rushdie wrote, in 1992. Ahead of the release of “Wicked,” revisit his review of the 1939 classic: nyer.cm/pTaSN27

    I grew up in the suburbs of NYC in the ‘50s and ‘60s; we could go into the City for cultural events. After seeing The Wizard of Oz at the Thalia classic movie theater, my parents took my sister and me to a revival of Annie Get Your Gun with Margaret Hamilton, so we could see her as a normal actress.

    What are the oldest movies still regularly watched by mainstream audiences?. I'm wondering what of the oldest films are still watched on a regular basis by a relatively mainstream audience purely for entertainment purposes (as in, not for a film studies class or for the explicit intention of "going through the classics"). The oldest examples I can think of are *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs* (1937) and *The Wizard of Oz* (1939). I think the fact that they're both in color and are…

    THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939) There's something "more" about this movie. Maybe it's because so many of us watch it as children, but I think it's more elusive than nostalgia or imagination. When Garland sings "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" the effect feels like something fundamental about us as people.
