Has anyone seen The Wicker Man?

[GirlWhoLikes2Laugh]

I just recently rented The Wicker Man on DVD. I've been told by the lady at Blockbuster when I asked her about it and she said it wasn't good. I've been told that by other people. I thought it was okay, not great. I saw the one with Nicholas Cage which is the remake. Just want to see what other people think.

the one with cage sucked....

i thought it was fairly well done.

now, a good mind-fuck movie is The Number 23, which i recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it.

Has anyone seen the original version of The Wicker Man? I know there's an original and I don't know when it came out. Hopefully someone knows.

The original version came out in 1973, which is when I saw it. It starred Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee, Diane Cilento, and Britt Ekland. I thought it was worth seeing then.

I haven't seen the 2006 version.

Watch the 1973 version with Edward Woodward and Christoper Lee and try to get your hands on the extended version. Don't bother with the remake, it's bloody horrible.

It's one of my all time favorite horror films. I love all the symbolism in it...The meanings of various animals and shapes may baffle you when you first see the movie. If you can hang on till the final 20 minutes, everything becomes completely clear. It's well worth the wait. The ending stayed with me for days.

I'd like to watch the 1973 version if it's still available on either VHS or DVD. Have to look for it at Blockbuster or other places if they don't have it.

I thought it was a decent movie.

 

[Tomskee]

Both movies sucked shaved monkey balls.

Worst movie Cage has ever done . . .

. . . in fact the only one he's ever done that I didn't like.

SEE THE ORIGINAL. Excellent, and a particularly good turn from Christopher Lee as Lord Summerisle...

I saw the old one and refuse to watch the new one.

I saw it and liked it. I worked at Blockbuster when it came out and everyone said it sucked but I didn't think it was that bad.
