The Wizard of Oz seems to be well represented here.

Perhaps it was the age we were when we first saw it?

The scene where the wicked witch vanished and all was left of her was a pile of cloths - was the cause of many childhood nightmares.

I suspect it would take a lot more to scare today's children.

Wesley S - I thought I had forgotten that wordless scene in Godfather 2 - but your post brought the whole thing back. Great filmaking.
