I watched it a wee while back too. It's got some incredibly good music in it. My choir mistress reminded me of it. She said Daft Punk got the inspiration for some of their costumes from it.

 Stepping out of my comfort zone with this one and it was sensational. Probably the most out and out entertaining movie I've watched for a while (that wasn't a re-watch anyway).

 YES! Finally someone has given this story the treatment it deserves! See it. It's spectacular. Erase all memories of that 1984 abomination.

The Exorcist 3 is the proper sequel to the original. I personally don't think The Exorcist 2 is as bad as people make out, but it's not a patch on the other two movies. It gets a bit lost in biblical plagues and prophecies and shit.

 Powerful stuff.  This is actually really good. A worthy sequel to the original (I have not seen The Exorcist II but fortunately it is not required and from all accounts that movie needs an exorcism itself).

 It's not often a remake is the equal of the original, but this is. It has the edge in special effects, but I like the small town setting of the original better. This also has Brooke Adams topless, which I'm ashamed to say I approve of.

 Perhaps still the quintessential zombie movie, even after over 50 years.  Great French film from the forties.   I don't need to comment on these two separately. Both shit.

 OK, I can say I've seen it now. A massive waste of an hour and a half. What a load of shit.

 Musical time! I did lighting for a production of this a very long time (follow spot). Unfortunately, it's not a great show and the story isn't strong. However, there's a couple of great songs (Too Darn Hot and Brush Up Your Shakespeare), and this version has some excellent singing and amazing dancing.

 A really cool movie. Don't know that it could be made now because of all the racist language, but that made it more authentic. Clint plays the tough guy so well, whatever age he is.

 If only being a reporter was that exciting all the time I might have stuck at it longer... I still would have been shit though.

 Wanted to see if this was a bad as some say, or whether its director's even worse rep just resulted in low ratings from people who have never seen it. Turns out the film is okay. But the filmmaker can go fuck himself. Luckily he hasn't had any films made since the rise of the Me Too movement and it should stay that way.

 A rare horror film from the 1940s, a time when the genre was past it's initial genesis and a way off from it's true golden age. Found it pretty great. Good atmosphere. I guessed the plot twist a way off though.
