The Exorcist (1973)

"There is only one."

What if demons were real? That is the specific question animating The Exorcist. Not the devil--demons. Therein lies the key to its endurance. The devil, like God, is in some ways too big, too abstract a figure to interest; he might give the marching orders, but he is too far behind the scenes to glimpse. But his minions--these we can see and touch and feel as they carry out their missions. These infiltrate and provide evil a face. The other element underpinning the film's greatness is its matter-of-factness. It is serious, but appropriately so. No excess earnestness or unearned austerity, no overwrought cataclysm. Demons exist, they operate in ordinary environs, and God's messengers must dispatch them. And such events exist …

Thanks for the feedback and recommendations. Most of those titles I lined up for viewings, except for Breathless, which I've seen and thought was released in '60? *Shrug*

Aguirre, Wrath of God ( Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes ) Review comment

I have never seen this but want to badly. What can you see about the pacing aspect of the film. Oh, and how long is it?

Thanks. I guess even the best director of all-time has to have a couple of duds.

Hitchcock comment

Love the list. Frenzy, Sabotage and Dial M for Murder get sadly overlooked by most people. Of course I'm always glad to see my favorite movie of all time so high on the list as well. Cheers

Excellent idea for a list.

Thanks for the recommendations. I saw both Mr. Skeffington and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? but I forgot to include them on my list. They have been added now.
