Haven't seen this movie in years, but TBS and AMC are showing. What a great movie (brings a tear at moments) even if my bride refuses to watch it. "If I WAS king of the FORREEESTTTT!!!"

Salomon Rushdie wrote a great short story about the sale of the ruby slippers. It's in East, West, if interested.

This movie terrified me when I was little and I still have issues with it. Flying monkeys, creepy little munchkins, scary witch with a green face, those castle guards, feet that melt away, doping a chick up in a poppy field...I could go on. Parents made me watch it year after year. Sadistic. My mom tried to convince me that the witch was the same lady who played in the toilet paper commercials on tv. I didn't buy it.
And THEN in college we try to do the Pink Floyd thing (didn't work) and THEN we hear all about the dead guy. Oh YES he's in there. When they start singing and strolling merrily down the yellow brick road after they got the tin man, if you look waaaaaaaaay in the background at the end of the road you can see a guy swinging from a rope hung by his neck. It's not the peacock. He was some stagehand who got trapped in roping. That's right get your Tivo ready.
Don't even get me started on my issues with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.....

The onscreen suicide thing is pure urban legend. It's a bird.

The Pink Floyd thing was someone's cannabis inspired silliness.
Willy Wonka is a seriously whacked-out movie. Any child's movie that includes an image of a chicken being beheaded...

Ah, the days when a kids' movie included some very scary violence. And remember what happens in the first scene of "Bambi."

Why do your spouses refuse to watch it?
I remember my sister who is younger than me, was afraid of the wicked witch. SHe'd run out of the room and hide in her bedroom. I still laugh at the memory of her running out of the room in her pajamas. WAAAA! Then she'd call from her room, "Is she gone yet?" I don't remember being afraid of the wicked witch, but Iremember having a nightmare about the wizard, with his head and the fire around it.
I saw one of the pairs of ruby slippers at the smithsonian institute in DC. It was neat, they were so RED.

Her mom made her watch it year after year and now she is tired of it.

I feel the same way about The Sound Of Music. My wife still loves it though, so I occasionally have to sit through it for the sake of marital harmony. I'm afraid I ruined her other all time favourite, Brigadoon for her though when I pointed out Gene Kelly's camel toe during one of the dance routines.
