Honestly, nearly every single aspect of The Wizard of Oz is every bit as iconic, if not more so, than the most iconic aspects of The Godfather. The child friendly nature of Oz helps a lot.
@cocacolaman: Yeah, too bad the cast and crew of Oz were full of perverts who harassed Judy Garland, not to mention the studio forced her to be malnourished and to do drugs to stay thin, very dark and heavy secrets behind the production of something so "child friendly". I can never watch that movie again now that I've learned this, it won't be the same.
Been around longer, more people have actually seen it (and not just heard of it, as is often the case with the Godfather), and it has so much more instantly iconic stuff in it.

tbh I look at it like Disney movies. Sure, they did (and do) some messed up stuff but it still doesn't effect me too much. I suppose nostalgia is a big part of it.

I can watch old stuff but just don't want to support new stuff coming out. That Mulan situation with Disney is a joke.
There's so much garbage in Hollywood, which is why these actors and actresses are a joke preaching morality to everybody, when their morality isn't grounded in anything outside of their vanity, and acting like they're our betters when they perpetuate and contribute to garbage.
@infantfinite128: The only Hollywood actors that are legit good are Keanu Reeves and Hugh Jackman, the rest maintain a standardised image demanded by the higher-ups.
