Now I try to be amused

The Wizard of Oz

(1939)

If you check out the recent YouTube video of choice among Facebook parents and grandparents of small children, you'll understand immediately why I've been thinking of this film. Great bonus of old rockers breeding anew: they get involved with Sesame Street!

So let's have some audience participation: of the many, many logical non-sequiturs and self-evident inaccuracies in this nonetheless nearly perfect film, what is your favorite? This is mine:

Dorothy: You know, we were just wondering why you couldn't come with us to the Emerald City to ask the Wizard of Oz for a heart.
Tin Man: Well, suppose the Wizard wouldn't give me one when we got there?
Dorothy: Oh, but he will! He must! We've come such a long way already.

Apart from this embodying a bizarrely naïve logic that suggests that deserts are invariably rewarded in kind, it shows a huge leap in optimism since Dot's answer to the Scarecrow's parallel question:

Scarecrow: Do you think if I went with you this Wizard would give me some brains?
Dorothy: I couldn't say. But even if he didn't you'd be no worse off than you are now.

Yes, that's good down-to-earth Kansas farmgirl logic there; clearly by the next scene so much Technicolor has leaked into her brain that she has lost touch with her roots.
