If through some incredible chance you haven't [seen it], all I can say is: do so immediately. Make this the very next movie you watch. Literally.
The Wizard of Oz has endured for more than six decades as a signpost - nay, a zenith - in the genre of family entertainment, and amazingly feels as if it hasn't aged a day in all of that time.
More than a movie classic, it's an essential part of the popular culture...
