The first time I saw the Exorcist after it's re-release alot of my friends were laughing when we watched it. For me, though...It actually gets more unsettling the older I get. I re-watched earlier in the year and it seemed to be creepier than when I first watched it.
I remember watching TCM in 1999 at the cinema when it was finally un-banned. No ****er was laughing at that bad boy. The sound design of that film, in the 'you can't pause it and go make a brew' environment of the cinema, really got to people in the audience. A couple of people walked out. After 25 years the film was still a shock for some. Awesome. One of the best experiences I've had at the movies.
