The Wizard of Oz (1939)
The Wizard of Oz is a 1939 American musical fantasy film produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It was directed primarily by Victor Fleming from a script mostly by Noel Langley, Florence Ryerson and Edgar Allan Woolf, with uncredited contributions by others. This movie recieved mostly positive reviews, and won three Academy Awards, and also was nominated for Best Picture of the Year when it first came out. Judy Garland who plays Dorothy Gale is swept away to a magical land in a tornado and ends up on a quest to see the Wizard who can help her return home. Mostly anyone who is up in their ages have seen this movie. At the time this was one of the first colored movie the world had ever seen. At the time this movie was culturally significant because it was the first fantasy movie for children. For its time the singing and the color made this movies physically component outstanding although in todays day in age it would be mediocre.
