: - and NOT "The Version You've Never Seen" which sucks, pretty much anything by Criterion (especially RUSHMORE, CARNIVAL OF SOULS, and SPARTACUS), THE SWEET HEREAFTER, Anchor Bay's THE BEYOND.

The Exorcist is a SWEET movie if you consider all the facts. It was made in 1973 and it still scares the piss out of you almost 30 years later. The one that you mentioned 'The Version that You've Never Seen Before', didn't really "suck" as you put it. I thought the only part that I had never seen before was when Reagan crawls down the stairs upside down and pukes blood. I can see where you are coming from though that should have just been put in as a deleted scene on the 25th Ann. Version. But watching The Exorsist while your stoned is SO FUCKING SCARY.
But I made a lot of people laugh when I watch the Exorcist. It is because I always try to look up Reagans dress.
