A Midsummer Night's Dream - TheWiz
A love triagle, a maid, a Fairy King and Queen along with a troup of actors all meet up in an enchanted forest for a frolic and fun.
Shakespeare turns what should be a normal night into a barrel of laughter. One can imagine being in a Shakespearean Playhouse watching the whole performance. Watch for a great performance by Mickey Rooney. Although this movie is somewhat dated, is is still worth viewing if you are into Classical Literature or wish to introduce your pre-teens and young teens to the same.
