It seems like Wizard of Oz is such a classic, well made film that it can re-engage our love for it. <BR/><BR/>I am really glad to see your daughters carrying on the tradition, as I am sure their children will as well. <BR/><BR/>That is wonderful!Heidi Meeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01436991028382498324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747146.post-1161914482035435362006-10-26T19:01:00.000-07:002006-10-26T19:01:00.000-07:00Carl, that is probably how it would have went down...Carl, that is probably how it would have went down on my dad's farm as well. <BR/><BR/>Too funny!Heidi Meeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01436991028382498324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747146.post-1161868488247832042006-10-26T06:14:00.000-07:002006-10-26T06:14:00.000-07:00BTW, what did your kids think of Wizard of Oz?Each...<I><BR/>BTW, what did your kids think of Wizard of Oz?</I><BR/><BR/>Each girl went through a phase of its being their favorite movie at about age 2-3.

Isn't it great to have a thought-provoking and fun list like this to compare?<BR/><BR/>I do tend to disagree about the witch- I think Dorothy had some serious mojo going on there, and farm girls do tend to be quite tough!<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, I agree pretty closely with you!<BR/><BR/>Take care!Heidi Meeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01436991028382498324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747146.post-1161833464872518042006-10-25T20:31:00.000-07:002006-10-25T20:31:00.000-07:00Reel Fanatic- EW's lists are the best.

I agree with you about the reasons it is good.<BR/><BR/>Having gratuitous but cool lists just makes it better!Heidi Meeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01436991028382498324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747146.post-1161805771905946442006-10-25T12:49:00.000-07:002006-10-25T12:49:00.000-07:00Welp, Merlin would have to be number 1 to me, he r...Welp, Merlin would have to be number 1 to me, he represents so much. The end of paganism and the beginning of "The Age of Man" as he says. And Williamson is the perfect Merlin, witty, sharp and at times acidic and scary...<BR/><BR/>Gandalf would have to be number 2, though McKellan simply *IS* Gandalf and it was like watching the book come to life on the screen.<BR/><BR/>The rest, Harris's Dumbledor is good but still not as good as the books and Gambon is okay.<BR/><BR/>The Wicked Witch? Defeated by a lil'farm girl from Kansas? Pah, some magician.<BR/><BR/>Yoda? A magician? Seems like that should be a trick question part of the article, which one of these things does not belong? Space Fantasy, Jedi Knight. Powers of the mind and their religious faith, no spell-casting or anything like that involved...Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06642758191046222448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7747146.post-1161804330235575222006-10-25T12:25:00.000-07:002006-10-25T12:25:00.000-07:00I just love EW's lists ...

I also like it talks about everything from movies to tv to books to comics to just about anything that could be considered entertaintment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
