One thing I thought of is the film The Wiz. When Sator made a reference to a "simple 70s movie" it occured to me that maybe he (sorry if I confused gender here) had seen The Wiz and was confusing it with it's predecessor The Wizard of Oz.

The Wiz was a musical adaptation of Baum's book and it was made in 1978. It was nominated for several Oscars including best original song and starred Diana Ross as Dorothy (the Judy Garland character in the 1939 film). Ross is a talented singer, but I always thought her voice a bit "thin"...certainly not as good as Garland's but that is purely subjective on my part. Anyway...here is a link about the movie.
The Wiz (1978)

It was the 70s, so the music is kind of disco-ey...I guess that is why I don't care for it all that much either.

Wow, do I have alot of useless movie trivia in my head or what!?
