My favorite memory of that flick was seeing it with my cousin who had worn a fake rabbit fur coat. During one of the tense set-ups to an attack scene I took her coat sleeve and brushed it against the back of her neck.
She went 30 feet straight up in the air in that theater.
My parole officer has suggested that I point out that, although she’s playing the part of a fourteen-year-old, Ms Agutter was in fact eighteen when she made the movie ;).
Back to OP, I enjoyed AWIL for the same reasons others have mentioned, plus the fact that I was at university in Yorkshire when it opened and the moors scenes were very like some late-night excursions I took with friends.
