Reply #47: "Gone With the Wind" but I relate to your "Oz" story... [View All]

No kid had any creds without saying they'd seen "Wizard of Oz" and hidden under the bed when the Wicked Witch of the West came on!!

Only an IDIOT would stay IN the ROOM at that moment!!

It was something about our whole zeitgeist, I think. I LOVED that movie, drew pictures about it, it was a total "event" whenever it aired.

But maybe even more than "Oz" (or a close 2nd) is GWTW. As a teenager, I totally related to Scarlett and then emulated her. Then it got so certain lines have become part of my peculiar vernacular. Now I'm just pissed off when I see it, that she and Rhett were such idiots! (And the 1990s sequel, "Scarlett," was HORRIBLE.)

I hope someday before I die, somebody writes a really thoughtful resolution to that story.
