Wow! Such a good movie.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I knew there was another version of Sleepy Hollow that I watched as a preteen/teen - I when I saw this one on YouTube I said "I knew it! This is it! This is the film I've been trying to remember!" So good to see this one again!! The movie is just as good as my memory was telling me.The movie is not so much of a horror as it is more of a light comedy-horror. It's has a great atmosphere, fun version of the story and Jeff Goldblum as the famous Ichabod Crane. Goldblum is great in this role, he's well suited for the part.If you like Sleepy Hollow then I do suggest that you give this version a try. And for more Headless Horseman & Ichabod try The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949) and Sleepy Hollow (1999) - the three would make an excellent triple feature for a night of Headless fun.9/10

I remember watching this on TV as a teen. This movie is a fun flashback to the early 80's for those who grew up then, but despite what other reviewers have said, this version is NOT EVEN CLOSE to Washington Irving's short story.Prior to visiting Sleepy Hollow, NY recently, I re-read the original story. Great great fun---great descriptions!! But most movies stray from the story. Personally, I love Tim Burton's version, but I don't consider it Irving's story, but Burton's.It's too bad that all we have are old VHS copies of this. The copy I obtained from a local library was damaged beyond belief. There's gotta be a master somewhere--maybe someone can clean it up a little and put out a DVD--please?

This version of Legend of Sleepy Hollow has all the ingredients of a classic. The mood is set in the beginning through music and a great opening scene...I make it a point to watch in the autumn between Halloween and Thanksgiving...I guess you need to have grown up in the 80's to really appreciate the feel of this particular version...Great Family Film and stands on the ability and confidence of fine acting...even in the quirky monologue...This film is getting rave reviews from at least 20 or 30 of my family and friends. I suggest anyone reading this review to go and get yourself a copy on the VHS format with the original cover...I don't know why they didn't print any DVD version yet...it is worth a view either way.

I strongly believe that Sunn Schick Productions did posterity a great service. This film and Deerslayer are only two of the many films they did in the 1970's. Do you remember the Life & Times of Grizzly Adams ? They made that too.Legend of Sleepy Hollow is as clear to Washington Irving's story as I can tell and they kept it in tact without this SDFX mess that so many newer films use now. Jeff Goldblum shines as Icabod and the cast are all favorites, including Mr. Woodman from Welcome Back Kotter as the elderly helper who looks after the school building.I would rank this and all the Sunn Schick films a 10++ See if whenever you can get a copy.
