From the time the Wizard of Oz was first shown in theaters so many years ago, it became an instant classic. I'm sure anyone reading this article can remember watching it together as a family when they were young, and will probably one day sit down and watch this movie with their children if they have not already done so. Below is a listing of some of the best Fan sites for the Wizard of Oz movie starring Judy Garland.

1. http://thewizardofoz.warnerbros.com/ I am not sure that this site would actually classify as a "fan site", but it is the official site of the Wizard of Oz movie, so I feel as if I should include it. This site includes "Munchkin Land" (kids activity segment with a game and photo gallery), "Apple Orchard" with information about the cast of the movie, "Haunted Forest" (all about the film), "Witches Castle" (the media gallery), and "Emerald City" (extras including song lyrics and links). Definitely a great site for any Wizard of Oz fan to check out.

2. http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/6396/ozpage.htm This page is part of a larger site, and is dedicated to the classic 1939 film. There are many links and information for the Oz fan including: how the special effects were done, facts and myths about the ruby slippers, a page entirely devoted to "Toto", accidents and bloopers while filming, sights and sounds (movie clips you can view), and much more!

3. http://home.att.net/~wizardoz/index.html Entitled "a tribute to movie magic and the miracle of production", this page is the author's attempt to keep the magic of the Wizard of Oz movie alive. Features include the ability to sing along to "Somewhere over the Rainbow" with Dorothy, read how it all began, and view and sign the guestbook for Oz fans.

I was just going through my old content, pulled up my Oz quote piece and found yours. Perhaps you'd enjoy mine. "Movie Quotes From the Wizard of Oz (and how I perverted them). http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/646819/movie_quotes_from_the_wizard_of_oz.html?cat=40. So many quotes from this movie have become catch phrases that we live by!
