Video of the day -- not one of them is respectable
A clip from the 1973 classic The Wicker Man (note: moderately NSFW audio). This film suggests something of what the true pagan culture of our ancestors might have looked like, had it survived into the modern world. This clip contains some of the elements -- Christopher Lee, cool music, Walt Whitman, and the pagan spirit -- that made it a thing of beauty. If you aren't familiar with the movie and decide to watch it, be aware that it suddenly and unexpectedly turns very nasty at the end. I still consider it a must-see.

Yes, that is a good movie.
I vaguely remember this movie...
That was an awesome movie.
I'm glad it was appreciated.
The "Wicker Man" is an excellent movie. Edward Woodward at the end is truly harrowingly brilliant. Britt Ekland didn't do the nude scenes - that was a buttock double but still a nice set. The crowning of the movie is Christopher Lee (a remarkable man in real life - check him out) managed to be utterly sinister whilst wearing a tweed jacket.
Woodward did do an excellent job. He cam across as such an uptight prig through the whole thing, only to instantly transform into a figure of sympathy at the end, admirable for his defiance. And Christopher Lee was perfect.
