The Wizard of Oz
The Wizard of Oz in IMAX® 3D – Main Trailer – Official Warner Bros - YouTube
- RT score: 98%
- Age rating: G
- Length: 101 minutes
- Director: Victor Fleming
Now that the blockbuster hit Wicked has flown into theaters, it's the perfect time to watch the cinematic classic The Wizard of Oz. Judy Garland stars as Dorothy who is swept away by a cyclone from her Kansas farm to the fantasy world of Oz. She follows the yellow brick road to Emerald City to ask the Wizard, the leader of Oz, to send her back home. Along the way, she meets the Scarecrow (Ray Bolger), Tinman (Jack Haley), and Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr), who soon come face-to-face with the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton) on her journey home.
The technicolor masterpiece is widely regarded as one of the best films of all time with its memorable music and lovable misfit characters. The Wizard of Oz's cultural impact remains unmatched and it's no surprise that the film sits in TechRadar's Rowan Davies' Letterboxd top four list.
Spirited Away
Spirited Away - Official Trailer - YouTube
- RT score: 96%
- Age rating: PG
- Length: 125 minutes
- Director: Hayao Miyazaki
I don't watch a lot of anime, but I have a fond memory of seeing Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away when I was a child, even if the parents turning into pigs did scare me. In Spirited Away, 10-year-old Chihiro (Daveigh Chase) and her parents find an abandoned amusement park inhabited by supernatural beings. However, it's not all cotton candy and carnival rides as she soon learns that she must work to free her parents who have been turned into pigs.
Chihiro encounters all sorts of weird and wonderful characters in this supernatural realm (I mean, that 6-armed man is rather disturbing), but while Spirited Away definitely has some strange moments, it doesn't stop it from being a fantastical spectacle that's still remembered to this day. Check out where we ranked Spirited Away in our definitive list of anime Ghibli films.
