Number 12: The Wicker Man (1973).

This is the trailer for the 1973 version.



Yes, I know it was remade in 2006 with Nicolas Cage in the lead role but my preference is for the earlier version. My belief is that it's proof why remakes should be avoided over 98% of the time. Sometimes it works out ok but most of the time remakes are nothing but FAIL.

The classic version of this film is excellent, I remember watching it years ago - the newer one, no. Some films just don't need re-making.

Oh, I know. I get very annoyed when they remake movies -- I so often prefer the original. I have to admit there are some foreign language films that would be nice to see slightly updated though, if only so they could be seen by a wider audience.

I just love the Wicker Man. Have heard that there's a remake, but I don't think I'd want to see it. there haven't been good remarks from those who have.

The original 'Wicker Man' is excellent. I suppose the remake *might* be ok if you haven't seen the original but I don't think it's very good.
