No Place Like Movies at Home : The Wizard of Oz

Yes, we are totally doing my favorite movie! I will say that I might be doing several of these since we can not go anywhere or do anything other than going to work and home. 


This wonderful 1939 movie is my all time favorite movie. I try to watch it a least once a year. That once a year that I do watch it is when I am wrapping Christmas presents. This movie has basically all of life's lessons you will ever need in it. It's also where I get all of my themes for every movie challenge that I do every year. 


My favorite character is the Cowardly Lion. He has the best lines and he always makes me smile no matter what is going on! He is that one that doesn't have courage and really has to fight through his fears in order to help his friends. He is the only one of the friends that Dorothy picks up on the way that gets his own song. 


The reason this movie has such a special place in my heart is because this is the movie that got me into classic films. TBS actually showed this movie during the weekend for the 70th anniversary and I watched it cause I hadn't seen it in years at that point. However, TBS also did a trivia game during the commercials about the movie that just made me so much more interested in it. A few weeks later my English teacher was making us to a research project on one person and my mom suggested I do Judy Garland, since I refused to let her erase the recording of The Wizard of Oz off the tv. Once I did that it was all down hill from here for me and movies. Judy Garland led me to Mickey Rooney and he led me into so many different classic films that it became my favorite thing in the world. 


This movie is a true classic film. It's one that everyone should see at least once. It's a great movie with a great message that makes you laugh along the way.

If you are stuck in your house, like I am at this time, why don't you take a trip "Over the Rainbow". 



Yes, I did have to say that and I regret nothing!
