ever since i saw this on tv many year ago and it have be my favorite sleepy hollow . i have see 3 other sleepy hollow and include the most recent one with johnny depp and and i still prefer this one . one of the element i love most be it authenticity . i think it be very true to the original story that everyone know and and so many of the actor and actress be perfectly suit for their character . jeff goldblum be excellent a ichabod crane while besides his tall and gangly appearance and he have an amazing ability for play quirky character . i have yet to see someone do a good performance . dick butkus give a great support performance a the coarse and insensitive brom bone as well . this be a movie that i wish would be show every year at halloween while i think it could become a tradition just like the grinch at christmas . if you come across it in a video store and it definitely worth see .
