Why would you want the Wizard of Oz soundtrack, on vinyl or any format? Just curious…

Because it's awesome?  Who doesn't like the Wizard of Oz?

I thought Dark Side of the Moon was the soundtrack for Wizard of Oz?

2. my students are working on some of the tunes for a concert
3. but mostly because it's green

Fair enough.

I don't really.  I don't like old movies.  I don't think it has aged very well.  Plus it is full of annoying songs.  I didn't even really like it as a kid.  For me, pretty much the oldest movie I enjoy, is Easy Rider.  Now THAT has a hell of a soundtrack. 

I suppose most of you wouldn't enjoy the ultraviolent horror movies that I watch on a daily basis, or pro wrestling, or anime…

I DID enjoy watching the Wizard of Oz with Darkside of the Moon playing on an outdoors screen they set up outside of the student union of one of the schools I attended. That was fun.

I can understand you saying you don't like certain old movies but how can you say you dont' like old movies?

The same way people can say that they don't like country music.

Of course there are exceptions, (8 1/2 is one, also some western stuff my dad used to watch) but in general, Easy Rider is the oldest movie I really enjoy.

and jesus christ, you young buck shot . . . go watch some old movies like vertigo or north by northwest or to kill a mockingbird or bridge over the river kwai or grapes of wrath, and lay off the keanu reeves projects.  theres always trouble afoot at the circle k, with you kids.

Country music is a genre.  Old movies is not a genre.  It would be fine if you said you don't like horror movies but to say you don't like movies because of their age is nonsensical. 

You are not my dad.

But he's old enough to be your dad!

Love old movies….saying one doesn't like them makes no sense to me….good screenwriting is good screenwriting regardless of when it happened.. and in the early days good screenwriting was what it was about…they didn't have special effects to mask crummy storylines..

and lets not compare Hollywood's leading men back then to today..

Paul Newman, Steve McQueen….to say Brad Pitt or Ben Affleck

now I guess I would say I like the great old movies but for every great old movie there were 50 crummy ones that havven't survived..

but I can watch Casablanca over and over again.. that's acting…a guy like Claude Rains or Sidney Greenstreet…..

I guess I grew up onthem cause my folks were into the good old movies………..

I could name a bunch of movies too.  But the point is their are good old movies and good new movies.  Bad old movies and bad new movies.  They didn't just start making good actors, writers, and directors.  I suspect they don't like good new movies instead like a bunch of explosions.

Cool Hand Luke.  If you don't like that movie there is something seriously wrong with you.
