The Wicker Man (1973)
Full film with restored footage. It's some watch I assure and one that will never be repeated, even the 2006 remake was a joke. If your going to watch the original seek out the full length version, anything else will be diluted and not make sense.
The Wicker Man is a hard film to quantify as it covers so many genres, in your face, yet subtle all at the same time. A very solid, yet one you may have to work with to get the best of it...

Did you stream this? Found it on Amazon, wonder if it is full or cut?
The Wicker Man (1973)
When a young girl mysteriously disappears, a naïve police sergeant travels to a remote Scottish island to investigate. But this pastoral community hides a devilish secret.

Hmm, I seem to remember something like this…maybe I have seen it (not thinking of the remake),

I haven't seen the uncut version of this if you will, but the version I did see out there. The scene at the end, the look in the eyes of those watching. Disturbing... To be honest, I didn't know there was an uncut. Now I am intrigued and will seek it out!

WOW... what type of sh*t show was the movie for WB to pull it at the last minute and then go on to say it will never be seen.
Part of me wonders if they are waiting for the Twitter hoard to come along and make a stink about it and then they give in and release it. Nothing like a little build up and publicity to help this film.
For me physical disk, Final Cut version is in the region of 93 minutes versus the theatrical 84 minute run. Cut versions vary by region as does quality. If less than the full run you can live with it, however the full scope of the film is the way to go.
Second screening The Wicker Man now as I was digging through my versions; theatrical (84), Directors Cut (99), Final Cut (93). Be rude not too LOL. The Wicker Man wont gel with all however for some it will resonate deeply...
If you dig this, then we can talk about Possession (1981). A sheer assault on the senses in every sense of the word. I honestly think the director pushed the actors to the brink of insanity. Another one that's not an easy watch and very much challenges the viewer. Best to go in cold; some say is unintelligible, some say is too highbrow, personally I think it's the work of genius, equally hard to digest on a single watch...
Just added to the playlist for the next one up as has been a while. You'll just never see the likes of such content in the current sad state of affairs where the outraged minority draws the lines over art and creativity for the masses. Possession feels real and disturbs at a very core level. I don't watch often, equally when I do I give the film my full attention as that's what it absolutely demands...

SAW it yesterday, save your money, the very few funny clips is not worth the time
Why do they sell out? I'd far rather go out on a high with pride, then live a quiet life than become a laughing stock for the $$$. Admittedly "drunk as a lord" but not too far off the mark me thinks. Bruce Willace being a prime example...

Just finished this one, an anime musical film loosely inspired by Beauty and the Beast. Almost like a modern retelling of the tale. HBO Max is killing me with language options. Even though this is a Japanese film made in Japanese, the only audio and subtitle options for it on the streaming platform are in English. Meanwhile Disney+ as like a dozen audio options and twenty different subtitle languages for everything...
Likely doesn't have the recovered footage at 88 minutes, but you'll still get the feeling of the film...

Just watched all five Dirty Harry Films:
Dirty Harry (1971), Magnum Force (1973), The Enforcer (1976), Sudden Impact (1983) and The Dead Pool (1988).
Like bare knuckles violence. Callahan doesn't really take anyone into custody he just shoots them. lol
Okay films, sometimes weird, but still strangely compelling.

100% agree, this is a fantastic movie. More people should know about it. Sadly, it was not his last movie. Sellers died shortly after making "The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu," a regrettable movie for so many reasons. It would have been better for him to have left us with "Being There" as his final statement.
Worse ways to spend time LOL. Got them all, they surface from time to time as the player works through the library.

Agreed, an excellent movie.
Crimes of Passion (1984)
A Ken Russell film, so you've been well warned LOL. It's a provocative with some very compelling performances. Far from being superficial, the visuals are there to shock, yet the characters are deep and well portrayed.
Ken Russell, music by Rick Wakeman, the talents of Kathleen Turner, Anthony Perkins, John Laughlin & Annie Potts, strap in for a wild ride...

Not sure if I’ve ever watched a predator flick before, vaguely recall Danny Glover in one, but holy cow!, this was a good movie. Excellent juxtaposition of hunter/gatherer smarts vs high tech alien tourist/hunter. Fun, original characters, novel intersection of history and sci-fi. Highly recommended.
I understand there is an English version and a Comanche version with subtitles. I'll probably watch the English version because I'm too lazy to read subtitles.
Watched the English version, but I honestly think it could stand on it’s own without subtitles or dubbing. It’s just that good.
