has anyone seen this? it starred michael jackson and diana ross, and it was made in the 70s-it was the wizard of oz but it was more um how do you say?.....urban. it was an awesome movie :)

No, I haven't. I guess I have a blind spot when it comes the 1939 version... I don't see how it can be topped.

But in particular, about The Wiz: I've never been a big fan of Diana Ross, so that turned my interest off from the very start.

"The Wiz" was a great movie with Diana Ross and Michael Jackson. It was a 1939 remake of "The Wizard of Oz" with an all-urban cast. I saw it on TV when I was a youngster and it was great. I prefer the 1939 version with Judy Garland.

It was an ok movie at best in MHO.

I own the dvd, it's one of my favorite movies. I love the music and how they tranformed so many NYC locations. Plus I loved Diana Ross back in the day.

i have it on dvd too i wish they had special features or something and my fave song is "you cant win" that song kicks a$$

I think this is a very underrated movie. I like it a lot better than The Wizard of Oz. I was never a fan of TWOZ even when I was little.

The Wiz was the first movie I saw as a child at the movie theatre.I watch this movie everytime it comes on TV. Its the soul version of the Wizard of Oz.I loved the characters,the singing and dancing.The Wiz is one of my all time favorite movies.

Yeah, I love that movie. I love the scene where they're dancing around the fountain in the emerald city and The Wiz keeps changing the color.
