7. The Wizard of Oz (1939)

Critic Rating: 99%

Audience Rating: 89%

A classic in every sense of the word, The Wizard of Oz is considered to be one of the best films to ever grace the big screen. The book by L. Frank Baum has had numerous adaptations, but none as successful as this 1939 movie. Judy Garland’s portrayal of Dorothy earned her an Academy Juvenile Award, a great honor for aspiring actors under the age of eighteen. The well-executed tale of a magical land along with the mesmerizing songs make the movie one of the 10 most successful musical films of all time.
