The Wizad of Oz

I don't mean to offend anyone, but could some of you Americans please tell me and all the other people, why is everyone in the USA so obsessed with that movie? I mean come on, I've seen a billion references all over the media and entertainment industry. "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore." - even i use this line, and English is not my native language..
And all those yellow brick road and wicked witch of the west and scarecrow-tin man-lion scenes in the movies and shows, even cartoons... It's a bit too much i think. It almost looks like a nation wide cult or something - and to think, all that attention devoted to a simple 70s movie. I bet one of every three Americans can quote The Wizard of Oz, but only one of every ten could quote Shakespeare. Is it just me, or is that really wrong?
