The Wizard of Oz (1939) by Victor Fleming
#2
I saw it on the big screen at the Westgate Century theater when they restored the print, in the early 90s. Some things are noticeable on the big screen that aren't on TV, such as when they go to the Tin Man's cabin, there are peacocks wandering around. And the faces he makes are much more noticeable (which led a gay friend to comment that "the Tin Man is so gay".) And the full screen face close ups might be why it wasn't a hit first time out.

I remember seeing it on a black and white TV once, and it was terrible. The matte paintings didn't work at all, so it looked like a high school play, with the characters standing in front of a wall.
