Talking about movies, movies, movies. I believe movies are one of the best pleasures in life. Nothing better than watching a classic film and talking with others about them. Love the classics the most but will also talk about the newer stuff too. And covering all genres: comedy, action, horror, sci-fi, drama, musicals, etc. Will also discuss TV shows, more of the classics, but occasionally the newer stuff too. And anything else that might be on my mind. Feel free to drop by and have a chat.

Classic Horror Films - Day 3 (THE WICKER MAN - 1973)
When a young girl mysteriously disappears, police sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) travels to a remote Scottish island to investigate. But this pastoral community, led by the strange Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee), is not at all what it seems. Before long, the devout Christian detective uncovers a secret society of wanton lust and pagan blasphemy. Excellent film with strong performances by Woodward and Lee. Not your typical film as The Wicker Man does get a little weird but it's always interesting and intriguing. And let's not forget Britt Ekland's racy dance sequence as she tries to temp Howie late one night. Oh and stay away from the dreadful Nicolas Cage remake.
