(14,577 posts)I remember the first time my mom let me watch the Wizard of Oz, I was maybe 4, and the flying monkeys scared me to death. I had dreams about those darned things for days. We watched it every year, though - a family tradition. It was 19 years old when I was born, that movie, but when I watch it even now, at age 60, I get goosebumps. A timeless masterpiece.
Enough about the great movie, though.
The cartoon is brilliant because it is about our shitty president. No brains, no heart and no guts. All he has going for him is bone spurs and and a grandpa who was a pimp.

(11,612 posts)I've watched it many times since then including once at a theater. It never gets old. A true classic that's aged very well. That scene of the witch appearing outside Dorothy's bedroom window on her broomstick still scares me.

(6,446 posts)maybe I was 5. But those monkeys scared the living daylights out of me... kept me from watching it again for a good many years. My family had no yearly tradition with this movie... it was A Christmas Story and Its A Wonderful Life for us.

She is now 30.
Very appropriate cartoon, that one!
