And, even though you'd have the originals, you would have still ruined it for future generations since the only versions they'd likely be exposed to are the new ones which would be hopelessly "Hollywood-ish". There is just NO way this couild ever be acceptable to me. Just the thought of a Star Wars reboot caused a sick feeling in my gut.... no way.... just no way.

They are just fine the way they are. A few effects cleaned up here and there is fine. Lets leave it at that. Noone they could possibly cast right now could ever be Leis, Luke, Solo, etc, etc.

You do realize that Wizard of Oz was a remake of earlier films, right?

Frankly, I wouldn't object to a new Wizard of Oz film. One more in keeping with the original book.
