'Savage' is used frequently in the novel, but I always thought of the idea of Noble Savage as the myth of the untainted, pure and uncorrupted person - who many imagine must have once existed. I don't know about that strange macaroni and celery salad recipe, but I once found a series of love notes folded into an old 1948 Albert Schweitzer book. I love finding that stuff. Thank you for the video - I really enjoy these.

WoW - what a tour de force. I mean, a _Veggie Tales_ adaptation? The chipmunk powered down pretty deep in the Oz barrel for this one. Very impressive!! I never ever thought about the actor playing the giant floating Oz head!! Good grief that scene scared me when I was a kid though. I will take a wild guess: Director Victor Fleming in a skull cap. As if he were not busy enough in 1939. The voice however DOES sound like actor Frank Morgan hamming it up. You are right that it is a classic - I think 1939 Wizard of Oz is a contender for greatest movie ever made. It is timeless and can be enjoyed by anyone. Of the lot, I am most intrigued to watch 20th Century Oz. The 1970’s produced loads of low budget ‘edgy’ Rock n Roll movies but I never heard of this one. The Wiz was hot when I was a kid. I had the soundtrack album, but I don’t remember seeing the movie. Speaking of which, I DID see an adaptation that is conspicuously missing on your list: I saw Return to Oz with young Fairuza Balk in the theater on its initial release in 1985 and WoW my friends and I were really scratching our heads after that one. Of the animated ones, that Polish one looks really intriguing - and I love the quaint stop-motion style animation. Thank you for this video - I really enjoyed it.
@ChipmunkOfPower Ай бұрын
You're very welcome, and thank you so much for watching! Yes, the voice is definitely Morgan's, so I think maybe that's why many people don't think more about it. As to Return to Oz, that is a sequel. It is based on Books 2 and 3 in the series (Book 3 is a favorite of mine, and I can't quite wrap my, ha, head, around them mashing up Mombi and Langwidere). I've only seen it once, and quite agree, it is so odd, and that's also a terrifying one when you're a kid.

I watch your videos with interest, as I want to do videos on books and movies when I retire in a few years. I loved your movie backdrop. That lent credibility to you, that you are at least a movie enthusiast (that's how I describe myself) if not a movie expert. You spent too much time describing the plots of the movies. Give us a thumbnail - A romantic, screwball comedy featuring Cary Grant as a college professor and Barbra Stanwyck as a nightclub singer. That's enough about the plot right there. Talk more about why you like it - the story, the acting, whatever. Sell us on the movie. Make us want to track it down and see it.

Patty McCormack (the small child), Nancy Kelly (the sober housewife), Henry Jones (the gardener), Eileen Heckert (as the housewife/drunkard), Evelyn Varden, Joan Croydon, William Hopper ( the husband in the military), and Paul Fix.

This is an interesting list. I do think that "A Shot in the Dark" is better than "The Pink Panther.' Perhaps you aren't aware of this immediate sequel to "The Pink Panther." It is based on a stage play that was created after the success of "The Pink Panther." I would of course add many others and hopefully you'll continue to make lists. Whatever you do I hope that you encourage people to watch other classic films. I am constantly driven crazy when young people act like the farthest back they can go is the 1990s, and they absolutely refuse to watch anything that is black and white. I was wondering why "The Court Jester" was on your list but now I see why.
