We've seen the tale of Ichabod Crane plenty of times before (Too many) but this is by far my favourite at time of writing.
Starring Jeff Goldblum as the man himself, and the tantalising Meg Foster this comedy take on the timeless classic is one of the most charming movies I've seen lately.
When Ichabod Crane a school teacher arrives in Sleepy Hollow for his new job he discovers a town full of believers in superstition, ghosts and the infamous headless horseman. Being an educated man he doesn't believe, but then night time comes.....
It's hard to believe this came out approximately 7 days before I was born! And credit where credit is due it actually looks great for its time.
Charming, whimsical, genuinely funny and well performed this is everything that Sleepy Hollow (1999) thoroughly failed to be.
Sure it's not without its flaws and I wasn't keen on the ending, but regardless this is a lot of fun.
The Good:
Meg Foster
Meg Fosters eyes
Very charming
Really quite funny in places
The Bad:
Dodgy ending
Some heavy changes to the original material
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Meg Fosters eyes steal every scene of every movie she is in
