Good Gosh!!!! How could anyone categorize The Wizard of Oz as a
bad film ?????!!!!! Were you NEVER a child ? I have agreed so far
with the different names of "bad films" people have been submitting
to this newsgroup, but I simply can not accept the submission that
this particular film is actually "bad". The cinematography was 
nothing less than excellent. In case you did not realize it, the
color in the film began when Dorothy started dreaming and then went
back to black and white when she woke up to find herself back in
"reality". My two sisters and I used to watch this film every year
from the time we were each about two years old up until about the
age of ten and we always looked forward to it and certainly never
tired of it from year to year. It was almost like a ritual in our
house. Near the end our years of watching it, we could remember 
every characters lines and we used to make a game of saying it right
along with them. It was great and I just hope that this film will still
be shown when I decide to have children and can share this experience
with them.
