Fans of “The Wizard of Oz” have another chance to walk down the yellow brick road in theaters, this time to celebrate what would have been Judy Garland’s 100th birthday.

The special screenings of the 1939 film are being put on by Fathom Events at movie theaters all over the country on Sunday and Monday, according to a news release from Fathom.

Interested viewers can check out Fathom’s website for a theater screening the film near them.

The screening will feature a “rarely seen extended musical number,” according to Fathom.

Garland, who starred in the film as young Kansas farm girl Dorothy swept into a magical world, was born June 10, 1922, in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. She died at 47 in 1969 of a drug overdose.

1. I saw it in theater in the late '50s. It would be fun to see it again .

I'm not letting my cousin sit on my lap this time. ...(.she was 6ish and scared of the flying monkeys.)
Would be fun to get my brother and other cousins who saw it that day together. Bunch of oldies reliving the past.

2. I'm still freaked out by the flying monkeys.

4. Again? I'm old, but I ain't THAT old!

6. I've only seen it on TV, I would love to see it

on a super BIG screen!

7. Some years back, 2011 I think, I saw the 50th anniversary showing of West Side Story in the theater.

I had never seen it anywhere but on television.

It was awesome!

11. And let me just add...

It’s a different life after you’ve seen Natalie Wood’s face fifty feet tall in technicolor.

10. Darn. I wish I'd seen this earlier. Only yesterday (Sunday) and today Monday, 06/06

and I have to work. Oh, well. I saw it the first many years ONLY in B&W (ask your parents, kids, it was a "thing" even when color TVs were available)... Then I finally got to see it as intended in color. But I guess the big screen is a no-go for me.
