The original 1973 version of The Wicker Man was a fine film.
The unnecessary 2006 remake was an abomination.
That was a great movie. Years since I’ve seen it and I still get the creeps thinking about it.
Edward Woodward was a fine actor. I remember him in Breaker Morant and the Equalizer as well as the Wicker Man.
Agreed with both of your observations.
That movie stayed with me for weeks after watching it. I wasn’t expecting the ending either. Very creepy stuff.
Saw all the films you mention and liked em all. He was a great actor.
Should be an interesting funeral.
Late Sir Christopher Lee played (horrors) the villain Lord Summerisle .......
Willow McGregor ping
Drac in drag.
Epic moment in cinema history.
How many here own the soundtrack album?
;)
... and Britt Ekland as "Willow."
RIP.
This from Wiki -
"Sir Christopher Lee, who appeared in more than 275 motion pictures, considered The Wicker Man his best film."
“Hey there, How Do?”
If he would have just tapped it they would have let him on his way.
Have you noticed there is a point where women who have had multiple cosmetic surgeries look alike? Seriously...they look as if they swam in the same gene pool.
They also pile on the makeup until they don’t even look
human.
