ATTENTION AMY, DEVIN, LISTENERS: THE EXORCIST is an American masterpiece from arguably the greatest era of Hollywood filmmaking: the 1970s. It became a cultural phenomenon, raking in millions at the box office before earning 10 Academy Award nominations (2 wins), including Best Picture (a first for what most consider to be a horror film). It towers over both the horror genre and the landscape of New Hollywood as a major landmark. THE EXORCIST deserves its place in The Canon... Do we all agree?

Agreed, an Almodovar episode would be fantastic!

While I really enjoy Re-Animator as a fun film, and as a huge Lovecraft fan, it simply doesn't feel Canon worthy to me. Amy basically echoed my feelings about this film -- and this is coming from someone who would personally love to see more horror in The Canon (psst... The Exorcist).

I agree 100%, and this is one of my all time favourites.

Tying into the "perverted cartoons" discussion at the end of the KIKI episode, I nominate Terry Zwiggof's CRUMB
ThomasRobertLee replied to Pooka's topic in Movie Suggestions
Crumb is one of my favourite docs ever, and would make for great discussion between Amy and Devin. Great suggestion! -
I meant Blatty's cut of Legion and the footage that's now gone. I agree though, super underrated movie and a great George C. Scott performance. The Changeling would be another good one...
-
Soft no for me. It's entertaining and perfectly captures that quiet, rural vibe, but it's minor Miyazaki compared to Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away.
-
I think that if we could ever see Blatty's original cut of Legion (The Exorcist III), it would have really been something. As it stands, it's an underrated movie with a few great scares. The Ninth Configuration is a much more accomplished film, top to bottom (in my opinion).
