Critic Review - Chicago Sun-Times

If movies are, among other things, opportunities for escapism, then The Exorcist is one of the most powerful ever made.

This is the only review that I can say perfectly describes my feelings about this film.

Well said, Mr. Ebert.

I do hope this makes your "Great Movies" list sometime.
