Pulling back the curtain: Wizard of Oz named most influential film

Researchers in Italy have declared the Wizard of Oz the most influential film ever made, outstripping others in how much it has inspired and been referenced in the film industry.

The team did not consider short films, adult films and those with no link or reference to other movies. “It is exactly the purpose of our research on most significant movies: to find the ones that are important from an historic point of view,” said Dr Livio Bioglio, a co-author of the study, from the University of Turin. 1.
