wizard of oz and GWTW. As a young adult i liked 'three women' & "Z".

I don't see many films that I find wow me anymore. The last film I liked was something that I caught by accident on TV, I don't even remember the name of it.

i don't care if anyone criticizes my taste in movies. but the criticism of my taste here is motivated by personal animosity.
