Welcome to Where Everyone Has Gone Before](http://blog.moviefone.com/tag/Where+Everyone+Has+Gone+Before/), the weekly column where I continue my film education before your very eyes by seeking out and watching all of the movies I should have seen by now. I will first judge the movie before I’ve watched it, based entirely on its reputation (and my potentially misguided thoughts). Then I will give the movie a fair chance and actually watch it. You will laugh at me, you may condemn me, but you will never say I didn’t try!
The Film: ‘Return to Oz’](Return to Oz (1985) - Movie | Moviefone) (1985), Dir. Walter Murch
Starring: Fairuza Balk, Nicol Williamson, Jean Marsh and Piper Laurie.
Why I Haven’t Seen It Until Now: Oh, I tried. In my early years of perusing the VHS stacks at my local video rental establishment, I kept a vigilant eye open for it and consistently came up empty-handed. Considering how it seemingly traumatized everyone I know, maybe this was a good thing.
