The best movie of all time

Rating: 10/10 (10 December 2002)

And why? Well this is why...
The Exorcist cannot be surpassed by any movie. The acting in this movie, the scares, the drama and more just make this movie untouchable. People may think that demonic possession is just a load of crap but i'm sorry...you're wrong people. This is based on a true story and it is the best tale of a true story ever made.
The acting is what makes this movie so great. For a start Jason Miller plays the troubled psychiatrist/priest who's mother is very sick and lonely and who later dies. His name is Father Damien Karras. His faith has deserted him because of all of this suffering and death, is there really a God? He dies in the end, getting rid of the devil and getting rid of the spirits in Regan Macneill. His performance is masterly.
The other one I want to explain in detail is regarding Ellen Burstyn. She plays the mother of a very happy and healthy little girl, Regan. Her name is Chris Macneill. She has rented a house in Georgetown with her daughter, her assistant Sharon and her servants Willie and Karl. She is estranged from her husband who is in Europe at the time. Her life starts to turn upside down when Regan becomes very ill for some unknown reason. The doctors think it's brain-related and they have'nt got a cure. As we all know her illness is being possessed by the devil. Chris is very upset and shocked. Her performance is also masterly.
These actors plus, Father Merrin(Max Von Sydow), Regan(Linda Blair), Lt.Kinderman(Lee.J.Cobb), Dr.Klein(Barton Heyman), Burke Dennings(Jack McGowran), Sharon(Kitty Winn) and others make this movie fantastic.

My five favourite moments were these in order...
1. The exorcism. 2. The conversations between Kinderman and Karras/Chris Macneill. 3. The prologue. 4. The ending (both of the movies). 5. The whole movie!
This is truly the best movie of all time...if you have'nt seen it...well...go see it as soon as you can!
