In 1998, the American Film Institute celebrated the first 100 years of cinema (1896-1996) by listing the 100 best American films of the century. I like movies, but I hadn't seen hardly anything on the list, so I set a goal for myself to watch all those movies.

006 The Wizard of Oz (1939)
My daughter saw this film for the first time this past Christmas (2006). She was enchanted by the images. She identified most with Glenda the Good Witch rather than Dorothy. She is four years old, and she has a thing for princessess. I don't know what else to write about this film. It's enchanting and endearing and incredibly popular, and it deserves to be. The scarecrow and the tinman have always been my favorites. I think I like the scarecrow because he valued intelligence and I've always fancied myself a smarty-pants. I think I like the tinman for his costume. He sort of looks like a robot or a space man, and I always like science fiction.
