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 both lists of the greatest American films of all time – the original and 10th anniversary edition – 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.
