      Audience Member Absolute classic treasure! I wish more people knew of this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Best version ever. Jeff Goldblum is the best Ichabod Crane ever. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member As a child, this came on around Halloween, (maybe even on a Halloween on a Friday?) - absolutely love it. Nostalgic..Today's kids probably won't like it as much...Probably too slow...But, I love the version. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member So I remember watching this when I was younger and I would read the book so see how the mystery happiness Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/18 Full Review Audience Member ***Due to the recent RT changes that have basically ruined my past reviews, I mostly only giving a rating rather than a full review.*** Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Not as technically accomplished as Tim Burtons masterpiece, but this preceded it by 20 years so they did not have the cgi or money to give this an A movie look. This is an enjoyable serviceable adaptation which is very atmospheric. The picture is very washed out and it states DVD release date 1st Jan 1979, dvd's were not around at the time. Perhaps laserdisc? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
