How would you react to a remake of The Wizard of Oz?

Indifference.

That's why I want to know what people think, its such a classic that I can't even imagine the remake.

[LiamMcConville]

And speaking of The Wizard of Oz, has anyone seen "Return to Oz"? That movie is absolutely creepy.

Hmm...dont touch WoZ. Its not a favorite of mine, but I wont argue that it isnt a classic.

I would much rather see a live action "Alice in Wonderland"...or that twisted version they made a game of a few years back.

I would rather call it a reimagining or a prequel, but there is the book and the musical 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.' I adore the book and really like the musical. It adds another layer to the story. As for remaking the film: HELL NO. I cringe everytime I hear anyone other than Judy sing 'Over the Rainbow.'

Don't smack me, but I never really got into The Wizard Of Oz. But...they have an interesting miniseries on SciFi Channel in December called Tin Man. It takes the original and puts a really kewl spin on it.

American McGee's Alice!!!! That **** was so dope!

If they remade the Wizard of Oz, I wouldn't go see it.
I didn't like the original and, as a general rule, I hate musicals anyway.

[Chrislit18]

I would probably cry if they remade it.
most remakes are horrible.

I actually like this movie, and I would hate to see it ruined by a new cast.

I know it's sacrilege to say so, but I hate this movie. When I was little I really thought Dorothy was a moron until I had to read the book for school and saw that the character is supposed to be much younger than Judy Garland looks. Plus I always thought it was rude of the character to say she'd miss the Scarecrow most of all right in front of other friends who were crying that she was leaving. And don't get me started on where the hell was Glinda when the Wicked Witch was threatening Toto or setting the Scarecrow on fire - is the "good" witch only available when it comes to kiolling flowers with snow?

For the record, I was bored out of my skull when I saw The Wiz as a small child (and I sat through the Incredible Shrinking Woman and the Raggedy Ann & Andy Movie - okay, in fairness, that Raggedy movie was even worse). But I did get a kick out of the mother from What's Happening running a sweat shop, and for a long time afterwards I assumed that's where she was working on the show while Dee was asking Roj or Rerun for a quarter.

I do have a professor who sounds just like Margaret Hamilton, though, & sometimes I picture her with a green face while she talks.

I would say bollocks to that. They should leave well enough alone. Noone can fill those ruby slippers!
