About the EXORCIST- It's not only because it's scary why I love it. The actors are all great.
Plus the movie has a creeping fear that something ain't right straight from the get go. I seen it at the Strand in 1973. I was only 11. I was with my brother Mike, who was 13.
And it helps that it's a dam good story. I read the book a couple years later.

Anyone remember when "Saturday Night Live" did an Exorcist parody, with Richard Pryor as one of the priests?

I'm on record as saying this movie (that I honestly find funnier than it is scary) made me cry when I was a teenager, because the old sick priest going to help the little girl seemed like pure altruism.

Another reason I like it. Some folks might say it's in bad taste, but I find it a very spiritual film.
And why rip offs like BEYOND THE DOOR (1974) can't hold a candle to it. (I like that movie too- but for totally different reasons!)

^ One of the best EXORCIST rip offs ever.
Along with ABBY (1974)!

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
