The American Fantasy
The best loved of all American films, The Wizard of Oz (1939) is a fantasy story that has become part of American life. It is impossible to understand American life or American hopes and dreams without viewing The Wizard of Oz several times. American speech, media and culture frequently refer to themes from the film. Other films with pure fantasy themes that have caught the American public's imagination are Star Wars (1977) and E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982).
