The Wiz poster

Why people love it

Audiences latched onto The Wiz (1978) as a music theatrical experience: big enough for a group watch, specific enough to reward a second viewing once you know where it's headed. The music and fantasy blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
