This one SHOULDN'T be close. The Wizard of Oz is quite possibly the greatest of all time. Visually, it was BEYOND the Avatar of it's time, AND it had a story to go with it.

Ya, but What About Bob? has Bill Murray

What, no waterworld?

Since Willie Wonka did not make the final cut...I'll go with The Wizard of Oz.

My #2 "W" movie. By a good margin, too.

This shouldn't be close. The easiest choice so far. Wizard of Oz, of course. There isn't even a close 2nd among the choices.

That said, When Harry Met Sally is one of the GOAT chick flicks.
Wall Street doesn't hold up for me. I thought it was great when I saw at the theater.. not as much the last time on TV.
White Men Can't Jump was funny... so was What About Bob ? but all time great flicks ? nah
Wayne's World ?... please... and I never made it all the way through The Waterboy

How is an Adam Sandler film even on the list?

I just remembered "Winter's Bone"...but would have voted for Oz even if it had been an option.
Awesome flick if you haven't seen it, a very young Jennifer Lawrence and John Hawkes giving great performances in a low budget indie.

Was thinking Wolf of Wall Street should have been up here

It s nominated, but did not get enough for inclusion in the initial poll.

I don't think any movie was going to supplant Wizard of Oz, though...

"When Harry met Sally" IS one of the GOAT chick flicks and so doesn't get the respect it deserves here. But there are a lot of great scenes and lines in that movie. Too many of those lines are way, way too close to the truth.

But it had to be the Wizard of OZ.
