The Wizard of Oz (1939)
“Somewhere over the rainbow…”
Judy Garland shines in the timeless Technicolor fantasy that swept generations over the rainbow and into one of cinema’s most beloved adventures.
Young Dorothy and her dog Toto find themselves in a magical world, where they befriend a Scarecrow, a Tin Man, and a Cowardly Lion. Together, they journey down the Yellow Brick Road to seek what they each desire most—while the Wicked Witch of the West threatens to stop them at every turn.
