*** The Wicker Man (1973)
**** Coraline

The 1973 Wicker Man should not be confused with the recent Nicolas Cage remake, which by all accounts is horrendous. This one was good. It’s a little off-putting at first, at least if you don’t like weird hippy pagan musicals, but on the other hand there’s some boobs and after a while the musical stuff goes by the wayside as righteous christian policeman edward woodward battles against the depraved pagan hippies. The ending is kinda sweet.

I can’t imagine Coraline being anything other than terrifying for a child, but that aside we thought it was great. It will be a long time before we let NLP see it, I think.
