Dan turns 45 this week, and so we all went to see the wizard last night: at the Castro theater, they showed "The Sing Along Wizard of Oz". Equipped with magic wands and bubbles, the audience lustfully sang every lyric, and most spoke along with most of the dialog as well. One guy behind me knew the wicked witch's lines just a little too perfectly. You can tell a lot about one's personality by knowing which character's lines they have memorized the best.

James and I agreed that our favorite scene is the one when they first arrive in Oz and are getting tidied up. Seeing that movie on the big screen is just fabulous. The costumes are unlike any you have seen in a movie (on screen credit for the costumes went to "Adrian".. we want to know what other films he has done!).

The movie continues to make us laugh, cry, and sing along. It has not aged one bit. It is solidly number one on my list of best all time movies.
