(1978, dir. S. Kumet, 134 mins., G)
Motown's take on L. Frank Baum's famous tale stars Diana Ross as Dorothy, lost in a New York blizzard. Huge, exuberant dance numbers and a who’s-who cast (Michael Jackson as Scarecrow, Lena Horne as Glinda, and Richard Pryor as the Wiz) give The Wiz a sprawling, irrepressible funk.
