Now talk about music from back in da day

@mspaula702 that is an incredibly ignorant comment to make. If you believe that you need to be over 40 to appreciate film and music from that time period you're an idiot with a narrow mind. To decree that only African Americans should watch it is ludicrous and in point: racist. I'm white, 27 and have not only loved this movie but movies dating back to the 1930's ( I.e The Wizard of Oz itself ). Appreciation for film and music is not bound race, age, or any other characteristic. Grow up.

Seems like the majority of posters here are young. You gotta be at least 40 years old to appreciate this movie. This movie is a classic. It's an African-American version of the wizard of Oz. So if you're not African American, this movie probably ain't for you!!!
I cant help but love this every time i see this. Like the lyrics are perfect. And music matches the colors beautifuly. Aaahhhh so much love

This entire 10/10 incredible.I thought i wasn't the only one who caught the the WTC was the Emerald City. And the Oz sign is really the Globe/Sphere recovered from the sight.I think they should a flashmob in new WTC plaza as tribute to the Wiz Cast and WTC/9-11 victims. That'll be since the 40th anniversery of the original building opening will be in 2013 along with 35th anniversary of The Wiz(Movie) that same year. P.S. Is that Patti Labelle in the gold scene.lol
