neutral · AI labelView post →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)

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.

One of the reasons why it continues to matter going on 100 years is because she her emotional palette is fundamentally inviting, and almost excruciatingly legible.

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…
