The Wicker Man. 1973. Still has a punch via that finale. The island is anywhere/everywhere at that moment. It feels more contemporary & familiar*, not isolated, antiquated or alien. & during that finale it's inhabitants project warmth & community, not menace. Which makes it linger under the skin. A+
