More than 70 years after The Wizard of Oz hit the movie screens, it is still a favorite with fans all over the world. People continue to collect memorabilia and items with image from the movie. You can mention character's names, and even lines from the movie ("We're not in Kansas anymore") and most people will know what you are referring to. Now, you can even have images of the movie put on your personal bank checks.

The Wizard of Oz not only has a charming storyline, but it has extremely likable characters that the audience roots for. After all, who doesn't love the cowardly lion or the bumbling scarecrow? And what about the stoic Tin Man? Even the Wicked Witch is considered one of the best movie villains.

Considered to be a modern fairytale, the storyline itself is simple enough to be followed by children, but complex enough that even adults can find it entertaining. After all, most everyone understands the desire of wanting to return home and needing your friends around you during the tough times.

The Wizard of Oz has also ended up on the American Film Institute's "Best of" lists over the years. In fact, it ranked "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", the theme song, as the greatest movie song of all time. Some people believe that The Wizard of Oz is the most watched film in history.

Since it might be difficult to choose just one scene and one character from the film to have on your personal checks, many companies offer rotating checks that have more than one image in the box. They can have as many as 8 different images, which takes the pressure off of choosing just one. Even better, each check you write will be different from the one before it. Dorothy one day, the Scarecrow the next.

You can also find The Wizard of Oz checks in duplicate form. In duplicate checks, a copy of the check that you write is left behind. These are good for record keeping, especially if your bank no longer mails you copies of your checks after they have been cashed.

Some Wizard of Oz checks even have messages inscribed on them, straight from the movie itself! Some of the popular messages are "I'm melting," "Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking", and "Are you a good witch or a bad witch?"

Of course, if you really want to show off your love of the movie, you can find matching accessories such as checkbook covers and address labels. Checkbook covers have such images as the yellow brick road and Dorothy's ruby red slippers. They are generally leather bound.

It has been expensive to order personal checks with unique images in the past. If you went to your local bank, it sometimes took them a long time to arrive and when they did you had to pay a lot of money. Now, thanks to the Internet, this is not the case. By ordering online, you can save as much as 50% on your checks. It also only takes about 5 days for them to arrive.
