Have spent the last week watching Oz related things and here’s my definitive ranking: 1) The Wizard of Oz (1939) classic 2) Wicked (2024) very good 3) The Wiz (1978) good 4) Return to Oz (1985) weird 5) Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) bad 6) The Wizard of Oz (1925) torturous

Ridley Scott makes exactly one great film per decade: 1970s - Alien 1980s - Blade Runner 1990s - Thelma & Louise 2000s - Gladiator 2010s - The Martian Gladiator 2 is pretty good, but I don’t think we’ve got the 2020s one yet.
