Perhaps the best loved family film ever made and counted by AFI as the art form’s greatest work of fantasy, THE WIZARD OF OZ stars Judy Garland – named by the American Film Institute among the greatest screen stars of all time – and features the #1 movie song in more than a century of cinema: Garland’s unforgettable and timeless rendition of “Over the Rainbow.” Among other plaudits from AFI, this iconic classic earned its place on the greatest American films of all time and features no fewer than three entries on AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movie Quotes. One of the art form’s great musicals, it was also named one of the most thrilling – and most triumphant – movies in the film canon, and Margaret Hamilton’s Wicked Witch of the West cackled her way onto AFI’s list of the greatest screen villains, flying in at #4.
