The Wizard of Oz movie quotes

The Wizard of Oz is one of my favorite movies of all time and a classic staple of Hollywood cinema for a reason. Not only are the characters iconic but the movie has so many lines of dialogue that it is quoted throughout media. In honor of the 80th anniversary since the film premiered, here are my 10 ten favorite lines from the movie The Wizard of Oz.

1. "There's no place like home."
   This is a classic line from the movie that is often referenced in the media. 

2. "We're off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz" This is a line that I personally quote. Every time I skip or go on a hike, I burst out into this song. It's cheery, fun and anyone can sing along.

3. (Toto.) "I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."
   Another classic quote that is often used in media. Several television shows or movies will quote this when something seems off.

4. "I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too."
   This is the classic line from the film's villain, the wicked witch. It's also highly quoted, even not by villainous characters.

5. "Lions, and tigers and bears oh my!"
   This is personal favorite quote of mine, that I often say, and I find it to be funny ever time I say it. 

6. "Ding dong, the (wicked) witch is dead."
   The song sung by the munchkins is so fun to sing along to and sticks in your head. There's also a small reference by a certain (unlikable) character at the end of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's season 7. It's another classic saying that can be used in victory.

7. "If I only had a brain/If I only had a heart."
   Another pair of great songs from the film. As a kid my dad would always say “If you only had a brain”, every time I did something stupid. Never in a mean way, always teasing.

8. "That's a Horse of a different color."
   Another personal favorite quote of mine that I use a lot. Never gets old. Any time something new comes up, you can say this line.

9. "That a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others."
   This is a touching quote that I find to be deep and moving. I think it's beautiful, and a good reminder to people that your impact on others is what reflects your life.

10. "I'm melting, I'm melting. Oh what a world. What a world."
    The final defeat of the witch. The actress playing the wicked witch delivers the line with such a great pitch that it's both chilling and funny at the same time. Classic line to quote from the movies.

There are so many amazing lines to quote from The Wizard of Oz. Here are a few that I feel I should mention, just cause I love them.

Honorable Mentions

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain." I find this to be a funny line of course referring to the reveal of the wizard.

"If ever a wiz there was." (Another fun reference used on Buffy).

"I am king of the forest."
