The Exorcist
From Conservapedia
The Exorcist is a movie first released in 1973, based on the 1971 novel by William Peter Blatty, which was supposedly based on a true story. The novel and the movie depict a girl possessed by the devil and efforts at exorcism by a priest at the request of the girl's mother.
The movie caused a national sensation in the United States. It broke the record for the biggest grossing movie of all time, and was nominated for ten Academy Awards. But its depiction of possession by the devil was controversial, and it won only two: Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Sound.[1]
It was re-released in 2000 with the original edited scenes reinstated.
The movie was filmed in Georgetown and includes many scenes that have since become famous. The film's depiction of Christianity is more respectful than in most modern films.
