3. Wizard of Oz
(Lesson: Stay in Oz!)
Is there really no place like home? Somehow I doubt it. There's nothing in Kansas but weeds and send, and yet Dorothy wants to get back there so she can hang out with her lowlife family and low-IQ farmhands. And as Salman Rushdie pointed out in his study of the film, not only is Kansas depicted in black and white in this movie, but the composition is filled with sharp, triangular angles that make the "no place like home" inhospitable. No, the lesson here is that if you ever find yourself with the keys to the Emerald City, don't go back to Shitsville. Tap your toes and bring your family to Oz so they can be served for the rest of their lives by the munchkins while riding color changing horses. Duh.
