The Wizard of Oz in Theaters Again

I'll always connect The Wizard of Oz with Thanksgiving. When I was growing up, one of the networks always ran the classic movie at Thanksgiving time. (That was back when there were just three networks, children.)

I always wanted to see it on the big screen, and for those who haven't had the pleasure, another opportunity is coming up from the folks at Fathom. On November 17th, a live, high-def simulcast of the movie will be shown in theaters around the nation - along with a taped intro from Turner Classic Movies's Robert Osborne, as well as a documentary about the making of the movie.

It's in honor of the 70th anniversary of the film, one of the magical Hollywood films of 1939, and, in my humble opinion, one every movie buff will want in an essential classic movie library.
