the EXORCIST (1973)

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?
"Yo' mama sews socks that smell!"

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!)

Edzachary!  BEYOND THE DOOR is such wonderful crap.

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