THE EXORCIST (1973)

"Let Jesus fuck you, let Jesus fuck you."

For the six hundred threescore and six people out there who haven't see THE EXORCIST the story is about a young girl, Regan, who lives with her actress mother in a very nice house in Georgetown.  For the most part Regan is a normal girl, but when she starts to show small signs of behavioral abnormality, her concerned mother does the proper thing and takes her to the doctor.  The doctor runs a million test, but none of them show anything.  Regan's symptoms get a lot worse until it's evident that her problems aren't physical but more spiritual.  A exorcist is called in and the rest is film history.

I could go on for days about THE EXORCIST, but honestly, despite it's shortcoming (it's dated, the ending of the film went on for way too long, it's not as wild as people expect, etc.) the simple truth is if you're a Horror fan then Satan compels you to watch it. THE EXORCIST is mandatory viewing for all movie lovers.

P.S. Your mother sucks cocks in Hell.
