Non-horror but next in my list of Christopher Lee movies comes A FEAST AT MIDNIGHT (1994), which was directed by Justin Hardy, the son of THE WICKER MAN's Robin. Lee gets a nice supporting role in this one as the headteacher of a strict public school. The film follows the misadventures of a newcoming pupil as he battles rivals and forms a friendship group with a gang of misfits who enjoy raiding the kitchen at night.
This is one of Lee's better 1990s movies although he made some dire stuff during that decade. He plays a character who seems strict on the outside but gradually reveals hidden warmth along the way. TV personality Lisa Faulkner plays his daughter and there are small roles for Robert Hardy, Samuel West and Edward Fox. Bizarrely, Michael Gove has a minor role too and I was astonished to see him! He's about as good an actor as he is a politician.
