I used to really like this movie, but I haven't seen it since I was like 7 or 8, so I was wondering if it would hold up as well today. Unfortunately my family lost our copy of the movie, so maybe you guys who've seen it lately would like to help a brother out? |

Assuming you're talking about the actual MGM musical version of the Wizard of Oz and not some version I've never heard of called the Wizard of Oz in Concert, it's an alright movie. There are many better musicals and fantasy films from the era out there, but you could do a lot worse |

I think the last few times I've seen it, I was listening to Dark Side of the Moon at the same time, so I just remember it being more trippy than anything else. |

Why the hell would anyone make a thread about that? A filmed performance aired on TV isn't even a movie |

C'mon, I couldn't have been the only person to have seen this thing, right? |

You were, because your childhood apparently sucked. |

the movies I remember most from my childhood are
-Mrs. Doubtfire
-Babe
-SpaceJam
-The Hunchback of Notre Dame (where I was in a roomful of friends and was like "ok I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry", but then Quasimodo found Esmeralda unconscious, and I don't really remember much else) |

I looked for your movie Healy, but it's not easy to find, so this thread was going spare |

Look, you guys, the reason I remember this movie isn't because I lived a deprived childhood where the only things I could watch were TV specials on basic cable. I watched all the movies you guys watched! Heck, I even watched the original Wizard of Oz! But Wizard of Oz in Concert always held a special place in my heart, because it had TIMON FROM LION KING as the Cowardly Lion, and the guy playing the Scarecrow LOOKED A LOT LIKE MY GODFATHER, and as the Tinman they had a ROCK STAR THAT I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT, BUT APPARENTLY MY MOM LIKED HIM FOR SOME REASON? |

Basically what I am saying is that there are many different ways for movies to touch us.
Edit: And the same goes for TV specials, which I guess WoOiC is. |
