Never seen the film before, but decided to purchase the Region 2 release because of the commentary. Firstly the film, excellent, far better than I expected, a real treat that I have now watched twice in the last two days. Secondly the commentary, again excellent, Christopher Lee, Edward Woodward and Robin Hardy had plenty of interesting stories about the making of the film and even moderator Mark Kermode behaved himself ... I am not a big fan of Mr Kermode ... but I do find him alot less annoying than fanboy Jay Slater. A great package that has managed to also snag the extras found on the Anchor Bay DVD, plus a great Easter Egg that runs for about 16 minutes showing the recording of the commentary ... great stuff. Along with SLEEPLESS this has to be one best UK DVD releases available.

Damn man, I love this movie. I have Anchor Bay's Wicker Box though, so no commentary for me :(.

Hopefully, when Anchor Bay gets around to releasing the DC in an unlimited edition, it will include the commentary.

I first bought the regular Anchor Bay Theatrical version, but when I saw the film I instantly ordered the wooden box with the Extended version, and gave the Theatrical version to a friend. Then I heard about the audio commentary for the UK release, and I knew I had to have it. So now I have to wonderful releases of The Wicker Man, and I love them both :)
