I grew up watching this movie. It was the most magical thing I had ever seen or imagined. I waited for it to air once a year. ( )

Like millions of others, I watched this every year growing up--and it was something I looked forward to for weeks. I've never read the Oz books--my daughter, who devours everything, wasn't impressed by them--but this film can stand alone as a singular magical moment. Actually, many magical moments, all of which are still magical 80 years later. ( )

Classic movie musical fantasy adventure. One of the all-time great movies. Never tire of watching this movie. ( )

Taken from the score from the 1939 classic film, this particular Wizard of Oz soundtrack contains tracks by the original cast, including Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, and Bert Lahr, among others. The addition of extended versions of some of the songs ("If I Only Had a Brain," "Delirious Escape," "Cyclone," "If I Only Had a Heart," "If I Were King of the Forest"), as well as two outtakes ("The Jitterbug" and "Ding-Dong! Emerald City") and a few different versions of the famous "We're off to See the Wizard" make this particular album a standout, and a great way to remember and share an important part of American film and music history.
