Every Pagan I have ever known extolled the virtues of this film, but it was pretty hard to find until the groovy wooden box DVD release came out (featuring the American theatrical release version *and* the reconstituted, less cut original director's intent version). Because of this, I didn't see it for a long time even after becoming Pagan.
My friends always said things like "It is an accurate portrayal for the most part" and "I want to live on Summerisle". My wife and I were doubly shocked when it got to the end because of all the fond things that were said about it.
No one told us it was essentially a horror story. I still love the movie, though.
