Does the wizard of Oz deserve to be labeled the

Number 1 All American movie.?

When you think of America and a movie that makes you think of America. Does the wizard of Oz fit that bill?

And if not what would you put in the running?

Lol wizard of oz is basically a poverty american version of lord of the rings

Any 80s action movie like Top Gun would fit the most Murican movie bill
America is the number one clown show

India > China

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zardoz
Boorman was inspired to write Zardoz while preparing to adapt J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings for United Artists, but when the studio became hesitant about the cost of producing film versions of Tolkien's books, Boorman continued to be interested in the idea of inventing a strange new world.
[Plot]Arthur Frayn encouraged Zed to learn to read and led him to the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Understanding the origin of the name Zardoz – Wizard of Oz – brought Zed to a true awareness of Frayn as a manipulator. Infuriated with this realization, Zed decided to further investigate the mystery of Zardoz.

Came out in 1939 and still looks great. If you don't sing along with some of the songs while watching, you are not normal. Imagine a film now being referenced and still a part of popular culture 90 years later. If not the top, its definitely one of the top.
