Personally, this is probably my all time favorite movie. It was the ONE night out of the year that I was allowed to stay up late, have a friend over, and eat in the living room! My grandmother made it so special for us; she'd have Poppy drag a full size mattress out, make it up for us, and we'd take over the living room. We'd sing the songs, quote the lines, and hide behind the easy chair when the Wicked Witch came out.

I have a massive Wizard of Oz collection including a pair of Ruby Slippers in my size. I wear them on speaking engagements! (leave a trail of red glitter everywhere too!)

I guess they are my talisman in a way. If Dorothy could find her way, maybe there's hope for the rest of us.
