Often Cushing starring in one and Lee the other. Titles such as "The Blood Beast Terror". <br /><br />The Wicker Man was in fact part of a double bill. It preceded Don't Look Now. How's that for a night out at the movies? My ex and I saw this very double bill at the big cinema in the middle of Oxford, whose name escapes me. Pre multi-screen, big balcony, it must have held nigh on 2000. The scream at the closing scene of Don't Look Now nearly brought the roof down.Elby the Beserkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060519682739666145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748920856459488211.post-47094161782105163602009-06-13T11:02:14.529+01:002009-06-13T11:02:14.529+01:00Wicker Man was indeed a classic.
I agree with you...Wicker Man was indeed a classic.<br /><br />I agree with you, Idle. <br /><br />But I do think Her Majesty is employing the 'yeah whatever' style of monarchy generally. Although I wouldn't be without her. What amuses me about the honours is the occasional rampant leftie being pleased as punch to accept an honour and go to the palace.Philipahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03440234602399886097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748920856459488211.post-32898142935188303892009-06-13T10:50:34.650+01:002009-06-13T10:50:34.650+01:00Oh Yes.

The Wicker Man is pretty class too, Idle.lilithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05011676751221508167noreply@blogger.com
