Oh how I wish I could travel back to this era, no internet, no mortgage no worries. Shaped an entire generation of movie lovers. Bless you for the upload.

Miss this series so much. Very influential in my teen years.

Opened my council estate eyes to another way. Forever in my heart and mind.

This was how I discovered The Wicker Man which is in my all-time top 10 favourite films. Thank you Alan Cox. Eternally grateful 👍

Wow, thx for posting these. I remember watching this as a 12 yr old, Sunday night 10 o'clock. Wicker Man blew me away, and in particular, I remember watching the first 10 minutes of Night Of The Comet before they used the F word and my parents turned it off.

Moviedrome was a highlight of the week for me as a teenager, got me into non mainstream films, it was magical to me.

I loved Alex Cox’s introductions often more than the films he introduced. He made a life long movie buff though, thanks!

a classic series, it really shaped my movie tastes and taught me that mainstream is not necessarily the coolest.

I Remember watching this very same programme, .And never having seen the movie or knowing the plot, it absolutely blew me away, The Ending is still one of cinema's greatest moments

Alex Cox always lent a weird atmosphere to this show.

Thank you very much for digitizing and sharing so many of these Moviedrome introductions. I was too young to have seen them when they were broadcast and I'm very glad I can make up for that now. I have seen a number of the films featured, in many cases after hearing Mark Kermode mention them. These intros have jogged me to revisit some of those. There are also some films featured in this series I'd never heard of and look forward to checking out. Whether I know the film or not, these intros are packed with valuable information -- fascinating bits of context and interesting comparisons. And I enjoy Alex Cox's arch sense of humour. Again, many thanks!

Get this back on the TV already.

Inspirational... Xx

watching these under the covers as a kid :)

Absolutely brilliant intelligent tv, and used to get you so hyped for the film :D

Would be great if the BBC would bring this back learned a lot about cult movies from this brilliant series

When I saw this episode, I never even heard of the movie *The Wicker Man.* Now I've been studying the paranormal for over 35 years and there was one book that I came across called *"Folklore Myths and Legends of Britain by Readers Digest."* I found that some of the images that were in that book also appeared in some of the scenes of The Wicker Man. Some examples of this include a photo of people inside a burning wooden statue, the scene in where the men carrying the swords assemble them in the shape of a pentagram with someone head in the center of it and the scene where the boys are dancing with ribbons attached to a may pole. But Ironically enough, the book was published in January 1973 and the actual movie came out in November 1973, if Readers Digest had waited a year or so. The movie could've have been included in the book therefore giving the movie and the book more publicity, sadly Readers Digest missed a trick because of it. All in all, thank you Moviedrome and Alex Cox, you guys are legends.

"Some cult movies are very bad". The Wicker Man for one.
