TOPIC: Mark's Picks for Turner Classic Movies in January (comments
by Mark R. Leeper and Evelyn C. Leeper)

Okay, this is almost redundant, but how about a recommendation for
THE WIZARD OF OZ?  It is certainly not a hidden hem, but it is not
over-exposed either.  This is ironic, of course.  Back when I was
a child, before home video, THE WIZARD OF OZ played once a year on
television, and if you missed it, you had to wait another year.
It was an event.  (I can remember in college, I missed it for the
first time I could remember because of a field trip.)

Then it became available, first on VHS, and then on DVD, and now
on Bluray.  And you could watch it any time you wanted, the result
being you did not watch it every year.  It might be two years or
more between viewings.  We have watched it only six times in the
last twenty-four years.  (By comparison, we have watched
GETTYSBURG seventeen times.

Anyway, now that TCM is running THE WIZARD OF OZ, recover your
childhood (if you can remember when it was an event), or just
re-discover this classic.  [-ecl]
