The best movie about killing witches and stealing their stuff ever! Good thing nobody in Oz will ever press charges.

The "it was all a dream, and you have a severe concussion" ending still ticks me off though. Even as a kid, I felt it was a cop out. (It's not a dream in the books.) Not to mention unless Miss Gulch died in the twister, she's going to be coming back for poor Toto...

Really? I always felt that it was left more ambiguous. Like no one believed her but she actually did go to Oz. I do hope that Miss Gulch died a horrible death by getting sucked into the tornado and Dorothy never had to deal with her again.

I think the liner notes to the 50th anniversary release stated it was a dream vs. it really happened in the book. (It could always be wrong.) Unless returning to Kansas involved time travel, Dorothy doesn't seem to have been gone very long. The time spent in Oz seems like it was a few days at least.

Miss Gulch may have had a legitimate gripe, but she comes off as an unpleasant person at best. Auntie Em actually wants to swear at her. Uncle Henry should have at least offered to pay damages to defuse the situation, but then we probably wouldn't have a movie.

In the meantime, where the heck did the Scarecrow get a gun? Forget the hanging munchkin, this is the real mystery!

Yeah that could have gone a long way towards smoothing things over.

I guess there are gun shots in Oz, the real question is why didn't he use the gun on the flying monkeys?
